What Micah is saying makes perfect sense to me. Say you have a 150 gold non sacred and a 200 gold sacred commander. They are identical apart from the sacred status. Losing the 150 gold mage in battle is less painful than losing the 200 gold mage in battle. Maybe the sacred has already paid for its extra up front cost with lower upkeep for many turns - it still makes no difference to the fact the 150 is more easily replaced.
