Those are a strangely disparate pair of analogues. I agree that Galahad's flawlessness is a large problem in any sort of reader identification or even sympathy with him. I don't think the same can be said about C=FAchulainn, though -- how many flaws as a person and and a hero could one cram into the one individual? Of course, he's unreasonably and excessively 'powerful', and 'heroic', but that would be a strange complaint to make in a HW type of context...
Sl=E1n,
