Okay, I got in a test game against a buddy Cryx-player:

I used:
Nemo with a Lancer, Centurion, and Stormclad
Units: Min Stormblades +UA, and Max Field Mechaniks
Solos: Arlan Strangeways, Squire, 3 Stormsmiths

He used, off the top of my head:
Epic Skarre with 4 Deathrippers, Reaper, Slayer, and Nightmare
Units: Revenant Crew
Solos: Captain Rengrave

Findings:

*Dice remain the same, I couldn't roll below a 10 on the skill checks with my Stormcallers.
*The Centurion is still a good 'Jack and turning on the Polarity field with a *Action is not that daunting.
*Arlan Strangeways took a hit from the nerf bat, but he's still good. And his ablity to put focus on a 'Jack is invaluable. (I wish he could Monkey Wrench with Fixer, like Dirty Meg but oh well.)
*Stormblades losing fearless means that I was more cautious with how I used them, even though models no longer run off the board.
*My field Mechaniks didn't get to do anything :(
*Squire... I forgot to use his Arcane accumulator, but he did extend Nemo's control area.
* My opponent didn't really do much with his stuff before the game came to an anti-climatic end, but...
* The new Reaper is good. The higher RAT means that it can reliably hit it's targets, and it can now drag large-based models. He said he no longer regretted buying the model.

During my third turn I noticed that there was a possible charge lane between my Stormclad and Epic Skarre, so I had Arlan Strangeways put a point of focus on it, and it got it's free point for activating near the Stormblades. I had also been upkeeping Disruption Field, so my Stormclad was at +2 STR. I charged and boosted the attack roll against Epic Skarre and hit, and then she took a P+S 21 hit and was killed with a roll of 13 on 3d6. The MKI Stormclad would not have been able to pull it off, so reach makes a big difference.

So what you're telling me is, my next purchase should be Stormclad and Stormblades?

If you didn't have them already I'd say get them for MKII.

Yeah both of those got nice buffs in the Mk2, especially storm blades as the cost went down a lot and now with the UA (3" AoEs on Assault !?) they seem to be really nice when taken together with the stormglad.
