The idea for the armor is that the tier 6 troops get lighter armor that allows them to move and swing faster. This doesn't help the Vale Knight of the Gate as much because the bastard sword they use is painfully slow.
It'd be interesting to see fights between tier 5 and 6 troops to know which load-out works better.
I honestly don't promote passed tier 4 until the late game when my character is very wealthy.
But in that case, why not just give them another point on athletics for the movement and some extra points on weapon proficiency for a faster swing?
It makes no sense to me to waste (lots of)money and time upgrading a soldier with worse survivability.
