Question (N26) Psi-Gheist vs normal Juve

Hi, I am completely new to Necromunda N26 and decided to play house Delaque because they look cool.

Right now I am building some lists and stumbled over the Psi-Gheist in comparison to their normal cheapest dudes. (The shadows)

For 5 more points I get +1 Cool, +1 Will and also a free Psipower to start with. Is there anything I don't see, why I should take the other dude over a Psi-Gheist?

They are both prospects and can get the same gear.

Well, to be reallt fair: Psy-Gheists gets more gear than Juves.

The only drawback is that they start with more xp, making one less cheap advance before they become a specialist. Not a huge drawback...

That one advance was "spent" on cool, will, wyrd, and a power. A pretty good deal unless you prepare that prospect for a very specific build.

Unless you absolutely want to maximize that advancement on something else (and you think you can roll that), then there is no advantage. If I want the best melee fighter I can get, I'd rather have the juve and get the advancement and have one more chance to roll a wound, an attack, a toughness etc.

That being said, it's really unlikely to level a prospect to the point where they are truly competitive in combat anyway. If I have no use for a psyker I might take the other prospect, but it isn't a better deal.
