It costs only 40 to upgrade Infantry (1 move) to Mech Infantry (2 moves). This turns a defensive unit into a powerful offensive unit.
It might be a good idea to garrison cities with more infantry-type units than you expect to need, with the intention of turning some of them into a Mech Infantry army late in the game. What a fine outcome for a lowly Spearman.
This is also a good argument for building spearmen (which upgrade all the way) rather than warriors (which do not) for your early barbarian hunts.
