You state that Grasshopper is better than Cannon (Pao), but I have strong doubts about that. Grasshopper has at most 8 targets, as it reverts to leaper (stepper, actually) after the hop. Cannon has 4 directions, but remains slider. The reasoning you employ (8 directions) would imply Commoner > Rook, which we know to be not true.
