I'd certainly have to agree with the appearance difference...however, if
you're doing a scene with pikemen inside a shielded area with other soldiers
around them, then no-one will be able to notice the handguard...and it does
make it easier for the soldiers to carry them.
[Also, with the 'pistol grip' in one hand, and the lance in the other, it is
possible to show the soldier actually using the pike across their body,
which I thought looked better than the alternative.]
