Not to mention, Aura is a manifestation of a person's soul.  This means that the thing that makes Penny so special, and better than other machanical soldiers, is not JUST the fact that she has "extra shielding and cool toys," but also the fact that she can A) manipulate Dust in specific manners, and B) make unique decisions following a train of logic influenced by her emotional responses to stimuli that the Atlesian Knights, for example, would be incapable of doing. Take for example, the following scenario.

A Knight might see a teenager about to kill someone in self-defense without seeing the preceeding action, and would follow it's set logic, leading it to act hostilly to the teenager in question, possibly with lethal action, or at least a painful amount of force. Penny, seeing the same scenario, would be more likely (given what we have seen of her personality at least) to intercede and stop the fight with far less force. She would likely ask questions on-scene and sort out the truth there, rather than requiring a fourth party to sort things out.

Perhaps that is not the best example, but it seems like you have changed the point of your argument somewhat.

Meanwhile, I seem to have missed your last post. >.<
