Padded Warhorse - overpriced or not ?

 I honestly can't tell myself. Stat wise it's incredible , especially when loomed. Of course it still won't be near as tanky as the more armored horses, but the overall balance of it's armor/speed/maneuver is very interesting, and definitely justifies it being an expensive horse.
But is it maybe a bit too expensive ? I can see what the balance team went for here - a pricey upgraded destrier/barded warhorse that has decent speed capabilities while also having some armor. I just really don't know whether it should belong in the cataphracts price division, one division lower (large warhorse), or somewhere in between (35-38k). Then again, reducing it's price might be  risky cause the stats are quite great if you look at them. Dunno, tough one imho.

What do you guys think ?

Guess its more expensive due to looks? Stat-wise it should have a similar upkeep as the Large Warhorse has.

It's basically an upgraded destrier (one maneuver for 7 armor and 6 charge is not really fair), see no point in making it cheaper.
Besides, if you started balancing horse cost after usefulness then the destrier and the padded warhorse would be were the plated charger is now, and the plated charger would take the rounceys spot.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

I agree with zlisch, this horse is an upgraded destrier.
Also agree with plated charger being the least useful. I mean the horse is not less useful stat wise, it crippled manuever is making it a teamhit/teambump machine.

It's not the least useful, it's still better than a Stumper and an Eastern Horse.
