Deploy is a drastically stronger ability. SGE is so weak and lacking in the shield department, that Square had to attach an additional shield to Holos, since SGE was struggling with mitigation checks in DSR. Deploy has the unique property of turning single target healing buffs into additional group wide mitigation. Things like Minne, Protraction and Krasis see their best value when put towards a Deploy. Given how easy it is to bolster Deploy and the overall larger shields, Zoe + EProg is no where close to the same power level. Not only that, but Zoe vs Recitation is a joke. SGE would need to use Zoe and Rhizomata to accomplish what Recitation does alone. SGE is a weaker version of SCH in every regard. It's like a poorly made copy with Pneuma added on.
