I'm afraid the stats have changed a bit, but haven't been released yet. The latest stats are almost perfectly balanced cost wise.

Agema Hypaspists behave very differently. Sword attacks are by default much deadlier than spear attacks. Even when the spear has higher attack 13, it is still inferior to sword attack 12. Due to 2 hitpoints, Agema are extremely tough units, hence they also have less men and less armour. All in all, this agema unit can beat Polybian Triarii, which is quite something.
Hypaspists themselves are much cheaper, because tests showed that Polybian Principes wipe the floor with them..
