Second, what model are you running them on? A Captain or Lieutenant does just fine with an Axe. A Tactical Sergeant, gets more use out of a Lightning Claw. However, remembering that a Scout Sergeant is a Troops unit, and thus gets more benefit out of being cheap. Especially across three Battalions.
Third, do you have a Lieutenant? They're a force multiplier. Why not? If so, Lightning Claws are less useful.

But, your complicated way is...Bad.

T3 = The Lightning Claw is basically +1 better.
T4 = The Lightning Claw is better, but not as much as a +1.
T5 = Difference is irrelavent.
T6-7 = Lightning Claw is +1 better.
T8 = Difference is irrelevant.

The Lightning Claw is better. The Power Axe is cheaper, so in cases where 'difference is irrelavent', the Power Axe is better.

That is a much better way of explaining it than just "power axes... ... are better against higher Toughness models." Would something closer to, "Lightning Claws perform better against things with less than 8 toughness, but not enough to really be worth it," be more explanatory?
