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.
