For me, the two extra defense from their heavy armor, allowing them to get up to 7 with shields, more than compensates for the slight point increase and loss of mob rule vs. Mordor Orks. I also like em more than the Mordor Uruk'hai, for substantially the same reason.

I like the option for two handed weapons and the feel of the giant horde of orcs, but I agree, if you want tough hand weapon wielders Morannon Orcs are pretty good.
