Appearance of the Bolton Flayer and Dreadfort Captain vs their rules

I was looking at the new Bolton Flayer's card and the old Dreadfort Captain's and kept pondering.

The Dreadfort Captain's appearance makes him fit alot more with the Blackguard (plate armor and shield)...while the Flayer seems visually quite at home in the Cutthroats.

Since the Blackguards want to be tough as nails, i believe prey on fear is better for them, while the cutthroats are volatile (5+ save) but have vicious (easier to get a failure) so can help the panic engine with spread fear. If it was me, I'd switch their rules around for a better visual fit.

Dreadfort Captain
- Prey on Fear

Bolton Flayer
- Spread fear

I wonder if anyone else feel the same? Would you mind that switch if you played against it?

As a sidenote, Roose (attachment) also has Prey on Fear, so it'd feel there is some continuity with the captains.
