While they are alike and cover similar niches (raiders excellent against soft targets, synergise well with other cavalry units, make up for bad archers), they are a bit different in practise.

They are cheaper than the Conquistadors (they cost merely 10 wood more than CA, and thanks to Lumber Camp and Monastery savings, cost isn't as much of a problem), slightly faster and of course.. frailer and inaccurate; they need more to operate in groups to shine than Conqs.

Also, Manipur Cavalry + bad armour means that they operate more as a glass cannon that synergises well with their tanky, siege Elephants to destroy structures, whereas a Conquistador is  a lightning bruiser, less vulnerable, better against Rams and much tougher (gee, I wish Arambai were affected at least by Parthian Tactics :/ )
