The Damage+ and Stun Rows

I'm deciding whether these two rows I use have any major weaknesses in terms of units...

With the Damage+ row (Hyacinth, Ignatius, Octavius, Saladin), Hyacinth's shock cavalry and Ignatius' pikemen will do 125% damage to Mages, Parthia MA, Arbalists, Nomadic Cavalry, Bombadiers, Cavalry, Scutarii, and Halberdiers. That is a lot of units that the Damage+ row will rip.
The only weakness is against pavisers, but luckily Octavius and Saladin both will do 150% to pavisers.
So, offensively it looks good (remember there are still the shock cavalry ripping through the first line and Ignatius + Octavius' epic damages along with Saladin's damage boost).
Defensively it looks like they will take 125% damage from musketeers, archers/MA/arbalists, and other Shock Cavalry and Pikemen. Bow units don't do lots of damage-that isn't a big problem. So the only problems are against other Damage+ row and musketeers. Sarky has been nerfed, maybe the stun row or Edward could wreck this too?

With the Stun Row (Cantello, Belthor, Edward, William + Scutarii):
Edward's musketeers can do severe damage to ranged units and Cavalry, Halberdier, and Scutarii units. Their weaknesses come in with pavisers. To cover for this Belthor's mages will kill pavisers. On top of that infantry do 150% damage to pavisers. Savage cavalry seem to be able to clear many unit types with 125% damage too, so the only semi-hole is with Crusaders, Spartans, and Heavy Musketeers. So offensively, the Stun Row is weaker than the Damage+ Row, but it might be more defensive.
Scutarii and Cavalry (the meat of the row) have weaknesses against the piercing attakcs of Shock Cavalry, Pikemen, and Savage Cavalry. The also are weak against Bow Classes and Musketeers.
Hmm... I didn't know these rows were so similar!
