True, but the Victors are also considerably more expensive, and you don't always need one for every task. Also, some competitions (like OCCRA, for example) limit the number of Victors you can use, so sometimes you have to make a Spike drive a motor. When it's the only thing available, a spike can do the job, even if it's not the best possible tool.
