Except that in Episode 24 (heh, I've got a clear memory of this after having watched it a couple of days ago when A.T. busted me hard on Regius and Zest), when Zest's team made its ill-advised raid on Jail's base, Quint and Megane ended up doing the back-to-back thing, surrounded by Type IVs...a lot of Type IVs.

Hm...do we ever see Type IVs actually flying, though? A lack of mobility might be the Achilles' heel that makes them difficult to send them in and out rapidly, particularly if the stealth function is a big power-burner that can't be maintained for an extended period of time. And although they do manage to critically injure Vita in the Cradle, that's an entire army of them (dozens? hundreds? thousands??) against one mage (okay, a AAA+, yes, but even so) under AMF conditions. Their effectiveness might not be all that overwhelming in less-favorable situations...
