A devastator squad is 2 stands, so that's 10 stands total, not 5.

That's fine. I don't have a problem with certain armies not having certain
units, or even paying a little more for units with the same abilities,
especially if they have limited access to them. For example, in 2nd
edition, Orks had very few barrage templates, and had to buy expensive units
to acquire them. That was fine. However, the IG just sucks compared to
Marines. Again, that would be fine if you really could swarm the board with
hordes of troops, but you can't because they cost too much.
