Still. Quantity is a quality of its own. And having an entire Regiment of Spartans is useful.

The Spartan III's were created under the same mandate as well i.e. quantity over quality. The Spartan IV's are the offshoot of that, with the main difference being most of the III's were originally war orphans whereas the IV's are comprised of veteran volunteers.
