even so those extra points can always be better used somewhere else.

Upgrading tacticals at lower point levels compounds that issue even more.

IMHO, if you want to play trooper marines that can fight, try picking up a space wolf codex.

Well... I don't often use 1-shot weapons.

Also, every time I do use a 1-shot weapon, it always misses/fails to wound.

In theory, 3 seeker missiles should be able to kill an IG heavy weapons team....

Even without Vulkan, those are a smart choice. Specially if your playing Orks or other armies that have poor saves. The flamer will just kick ass, and the melta will burninate armor pretty much with ease.
I wouldnt waste my points on a combi-plasma tho.
