Based on my Legio experience I agree much with Q. If number of kills is important for you then Legionnaire is probably not the right choice. Zwei get the kills. But Legionnaire is very versatile one and helps the team in any position that is required. With throwing ability, you also avoid the problems when there is many infantrymen in the team and you can't find anything to do with yourself except healing.
And yes, VHTA is certainly a 'must have' for Legionnaire even if aiming them is terrible comparing to CTS or Pilum. But at one purchase you get reasonable throwables, strong 1H and you can hold 45 of them + a shield. When it comes to the shield, I use Royal and with 3 of them I can comfortably shield all waves on hard.
And like Q mentioned, do never forget the most cost effective armor upgrade is with gauntlets.
Last thing to remind is that while there is a pretty nice and cheap Swadian Courage available for Legionnaire (one even can slash at cades with it if necessary, as it's 108 long), after recent changes Swadian Hope got buffed to 54c and while it's more expensive it has advantage of being more agile and while almost none was interested in it before, it will probably become popular now, so it will be easier to sell than Courage.
