The first list advantages are - an additional drop in deployment - a flying unit ( swiftstride) as chaff they are much more better than horsemen and horse archers - can be used as a real warmachine together with the stalker unit - 6 Cobra !!! - I don't give away easily 95 points in melee ( both wizards L1 are going to die very fast in HtH . 180 points )
Cons - I am going to miss the champion and musician in the Cobra unit -I will miss the dispel scroll and a second spell of nehek
...................................................................
The second list advantages are - second wizard ( second nehek spell ) - additional channeling dice - dispel scroll - Fiery roar on the Sphinx -full command on the Cobra ( but they are still 5)
Cons - 1 additional cobra is a very nice thing to have ... - I have less chaff - I will not have enough dice to really get advantage of the second wizard ( 5 arkhan spells +2 bounds spell Hiero +1 bound spell casket of soul+ 2 nehek spells) Sure I will have more "answers" but winds of magic are not always reliable :-)

Monstrous cav in general tend to do better as 3 or 4 rather than 5+, you waste mount attacks in the second rank and you are packing a lot of points into Double hits for cannons. 3 or 4 lets them all touch the front of an infantry unit in a single rank.

Even if I know that unit of 4 is the best...but I don't have the points I was also thinking to entomb one unit :-) but I need 15 points which I don't have ( maybe I can drop the standard bearer form one unit of cobra but I still need 5 points )

Dead Arkhan (sniped by warmachines/spells or as result of his own miscast) => crumbling of all your army, innit? I don't disagree but you can say this about ANY undead army. But yes, a second wizard is required.

I am not that scared of death lore or miscast but still I want do enforce my defence and there is nothing better I can do for protecting arkhan imho. I don't think the Lodestone will protect you against Miscasts ++EDIT++ Sorry this has been covered already
