For those who think it should just be a knight, the problem, in my opinion, with making it an ACF is that the samurai in popular culture have magical abilities, while knight's almost never do.

Samurai also didn't always fight honorably, while knights, at least in legend, did more often than not. Samurai were better known for their weapon styles, while knights specialized in fighting in armor. I could list more, but...

I really don't think the two concepts mesh as well as some of you think. By the time you offer more than 4 features to swap out I think it warrants its own class.
Knights are rather boring, overall. I like where pathfinder took it with Cavalier, which is the basis for the samurai class in PF. Samurai historically ran the entire spread of alignments, some were closer to thugs than knights.

Miyamoto Musashi was a great example of this. Chaotic at first, then slowly fell into law.
