Blood magic could be a national advantage that allows for considerable massing of high quality troops - it just wouldn't be open ended as it is now, being based on gold.

I think you might be under pricing them now. I would peg the demon knight as being stronger than a wight, other than not being a leader (which is a large drawback) at least at the level of a bane. Devils, Fiends of Darkness, and Storm Demons, also have the advantage of flight and can excel as raiders due to that, you don't need a lot of storm demons to make a competent raiding force.

I think the exercise is somewhat interesting because evaluating blood summons in gem-terms aids in comparisons towards other summons.
