Yeah but the astreons may be cheaper. LOL 4 to combat is just fine for a hammerdin. And the stormlash is just kinda to play around with. It might be nice vs the gloams because of the light absorb.
Also.... With people wanting these huge defense ethereal armors... I'm surprised nobody has noticed that I have on this list:

786 defense ethereal dusk shroud with 67 str req.

Edit: I also have an eth scarab husk and wyrmhide both in the high 600's defense.
