I always thought bah 50 pearls for a lousy Arch angel when i have to pay only 10 deathgems for a Banelord but a Archangel has 14 base att and 11 base def , the Banelord 14 base att and 14 base def .

• Archangel is sacred, BL isn't.
• AA has 3F and 4H, BL has no magic at all.
• AA comes with 6 angels, BL comes by himself.
• AA flies, BL doesn't.
• AA has awe, BL has chill (awe is arguably more powerful, since it's harder to defend against).

The above items, especially the first two, account for the cost difference.

You need to quit looking at just a unit's combat stats and look at the totality of the unit's traits and gear when you attempt to compare units, and carefully examine how well that gestalt works in actual game play (as opposed to theoretical play).
