"Cataphracts are slightly faster and have a strong anti-mameluke (and anti-camel) bonus. Also they cost less, meaning they're more cost-effective to attack mamelukes. "

1. Mamelukes are faster, even if it is only 0,05 unit difference (1,35 v 1,4). They are actually second fastest UU after Mangudai (at 1,45)

2. Catas with strong bonus vs camels/mamelukes? Where? They don't have anything except that defence bonus that ignores the bonus damage Mamelukes deal to cavalry.

3. Catas cost 15 more food and 10 less gold, I'd call it similar in terms of cost.

Look, I will not deny the power of catas, but still, your reasoning is kinda wrong.
