Allows me to dump more points into killier things, like Vindicators and Speeders.

for BA, you guys really don't get that, I think. If you are wanting to reduce on points dumped into your troops, then take 5 man units instead.

Assault squads are such a great overall unit BA can get away with dumping half of their armies points into troops. In the 2k range Mech BA seem to do ok with 6 assault squads in razorbacks, and DOA BA are still competitive with 40-50 assault marines. It's very hard for ba to overspend on troops.
