Akatsuki was badass.
Mwu was also a great pilot as we learned from GS1. I still don't know how the hell they managed to pull off him surviving.
Anyway, Legend was just a Providence #2 and Rey wasn't as developed as a pilot as Rau was. Not to mention Kira/Athrun developing as pilots after the initial contact with Rau in the first series.
Akatsuki with Mwu as a pilot is one of my favorite suit/pilot combinations of all of Gundam series!
And no it's not like a Grunt suit lol.

Plus Akatsuki doesn't have Phase Shift, meaning its more or less grunt armour, 1 railgun shot from SF would take it down.

If I recall correctly, Akatsuki had some sort of reflective armor, not to mention the funnel shield on it. If anything, it'd take a rail gun shot better than a lesser suit with phase shift like Strike or Duel.
