In my defense, I see the Light Lance hardly ever used by Hoplites. I've had both MW Asswood and MW Tight Lance, they're both decent. However, one thing that needs to be recognized by the Light Lance is its ability to couch as well. It is great if you want to throw even 3 riding into your polearm build and use it as a lance from horseback + couching it. Then, when you fall or get taken off, you don't need to switch weapons if you're a decent hoplite.
I like both, but Light Lance is definitely better IMO. It too often gets overlooked as a viable option and those that I've convinced to switch have found a vast improvement. It's not for everyone, but it's definitely worth a shot.
