Don't know about you guys, but I'd mutch rather take a Dakka-pred over a HB-Typhoon. 5 points cheaper, a lot more durable and still fast enough to keep up with most things. Wounds against T4 are 3.8 for the pred and 2.7 for the Typh. (2 hits per template, 33% chance to miss) before saves.

Don't rely on melta to mutch.

If you use the frag missiles and hit 2 guys per template you've got 7 "shots", against 8 from a Dakka pred, how is that more?
Also If you use frag your AP is worst than the pred, 4/6 against 4/4, and your str is lower 5/4 against 5/7.

You can use the krak missle, but that wil only give you 4 shots against again 8. The AP of one of your shots is one point better, as is its str.

So overall, I have to disagree with you, but yeah it is a bit slow.
