Papersoldiers have a lot of advantages over plastic/metal figures:
1) already painted
2) cheaper
3) faster to prepare
4) endless positions and uniforms
5) less space occupied
6) bigger panoramic effect
7) attachable with magnet (my system), so it is possible to set up a battallion and undo without problem, so no fix units but you can decrease the numbers of a fighting unit like in reality (!)
but they also have a flaw: they are thin! You could argue there are a lot of metal figures that are thin (and on this purpose I would say no comparation) bt there are 2 schools:
a) front vision
b) side vision.
Both are good and bad. I mean the frontal figures are beautiful, can give you a vision from behind your troops but... they occupy a too large front (like normal figures) and the horses are bad.

Here the effect on the field:
