Which is better, Knight or Serpent Cataphract

[Starshine_Monarch]

On a different note about Serpent Cataphracts, this is only a graphical bug, but it kind of irritates me. With LA Pythium, after a cataphract rider is killed, the serpent lives on, but it wears the plain iron barding from the MA cataphracts as opposed to the gilded barding the sacred LA ones recieve.

Also, since the LA riderless serpent is just the same as the MA one, it's not sacred anymore and was wondering if it should be. I recall there was the same problem with the headless Sacred Hydras, but here it's more of a debate as to whether the rider or the serpent itself are the ones considered sacred.
