KC, they have different uses, but just being in different slots doesn't preclude comparisons. If I'm building an Ork list, I have a finite number of points to spend. Obviously I need to spend some on two Troops and an HQ, then more points are discretionary. Boyz are such a great deal for their cost that any other HtH unit in the army tends to suffer by comparison to the "just take more Boyz" option. Yes, Boyz aren't as fast as Stormboyz, but they Score. Those are two major qualitative differences between the two, but in HtH the Boyz are just better, as you get basically the same stats for half the cost. The question is whether you really need /can really get a benefit out of the speed of the stormboyz in a given list, and whether that benefit outweighs the benefits of having another scoring unit with twice as many models in it.
