While I certainly cannot disagree with you on your statements above, I must also state that the Lancelot has one terrible weakness: its pilot. Or rather, its reliance on its pilot. Suzaku is the only one who can put the Lancelot's "good usability" to, well, good use.
While you may argue that this may also be the case in the Guren Nishiki, it isn't as problematic as it is in the case of Lancelot. Suzaku's physical prowess is sheer magic: it's quite unique to him, and this physical prowess is a key to Lancelot's maneuverability. If the pilot doesn't have Suzaku's strength, agility, and dexterity, the Lancelot's strength, agility, and dexterity are merely theoretical and cannot really be fully executed. In short, the Lancelot can only produce results when used by Suzaku. The Guren Nishiki, on the other hand, is pretty much point-and-click [or rather, aim(the arm)-and-fire(the wave)]. While it
does rely on the pilot's nerves and accuracy, it isn't as
completely pilot-reliant as the Lancelot is.
And the Gawain? Lelouch "put it to good use" in a matter of seconds.
Flying away from the enemy = win XD
