I wouldn't use it for my mercenary, because the strength requirement alone would stop me. I've found much lighter Eth armors with equal or better defense that have much lower requirements and won't slow my mercenary down. For character build I would be even less likely to want to use it. you might want to supply some build information if you want the best possible answer.
The image of the Archon Plate I'm showing is an example light merc armor with decent defense.
I'm a bit of a fashion "Big O". So I like the Sacred Armor on a barb. It looks TOUGH. But your right, you might head to out battle, fight one hour, head up to Larzuk, and he hands you a 110k Gold repair Bill. I can attest to this, as I use some Boneweave Armors with the Fortitude runeword. I often get that 90K Gold repair Bill. For me, Gold is cheap. Other's opinions may differ.
The second thing is the points allocation and survival. The high points in strength is okay for a Barb or Paladin. So I think you know where this is going, right?
Third thing is that Archon Armors are very dominant, look great, and don't kick you in the balls when allocating points or when it comes to paying the repair bills.
It's a sweet Sacred Armor. It really comes down to your play style.

Yeah maybe if this is on a Gold find horker the repair cost will be negligent .
That's great Dude! That deserves the "Like". Hella practical thinking there...
That's what I mean by Gold is cheap. I go out and kill for an hour or two with either my Barb or Sorc and come home with a million. Every pile of Gold is 3 to 5k.
