They are supposed to be good against cavalry, but I refuse to believe that "even odds" = "good against."
Even against at 2/3 the cost per file, meaning you should have 50% more bases is pretty good. If I am 4 lancer cavalry (64-68A) looking at charging 6 MF OS (60AP) at evens knowing that if the Catalans don't disrupt at impact I am on to a serious thrashing in melee I don't htink that is so good...

The AP does matter in the match-ups. If you are catalans you have to find a way to make your numbers count.
My knights have don't terribly against catalan long spear foot. Yes, you might ride them down but if you charge 3 groups of knights into 3 Almug units you might break one but you'll lose 2 knight units and then drilled MF are rampaging behind your lines
