Well, if I were a Prophet you can bet that I'd have the best technology that the Covenant had to offer packed into my chair.
You think the Gold Elites had tough shields, wait until you see the good stuff. The built in gravity gun, the plasma projector... who knows...
The other possibility is that the Forerunner created those chairs themselves for their own use. Thus, they'd be much more powerful then the copied tech that they give to the Elites.
