Agreed, back in the day this was the way, mainly because Erny and I chose Hero's instead of Champions to lead units as we saw Champions as being a bit puny. Now It's Champions with hero's hardly getting a look in.
My only issue with Champions in 4th and onwards is that they have to armed the same as the unit, when most Campion mini's aren't armed the same. There aren't many spear wielding Skaven Champions! I'd like to see Champions being allowed to have different equipment (heavy armour with a shield slows them down so the unit would suffer as they'd have to move at the slower pace, it's your choice) or the two hand weapon combo that a lot of my favourite Champion mini's have.
