But you have to figure too... A soldier Shepard would be familiar with biotics. If not the specifics of Vasir's biotic abilities, at least with biotics in general. And Shep would see an asari Spectre (like Vasir) and know that this is a powerful biotic. The Chief? Not so much. The Chief has never seen biotics, nor does the Chief have any idea of their capabilities, or how to effectively combat them. On the other hand, what does a SPARTAN-II bring to the table that a trained Spectre hasn't encountered? Not much. A big, hulking, strong figure well versed in weapons. Sounds like a krogan.
