Sorry to be that guy but:

5 bikes, mos, ioe, lightning claw + meltabomb 180ish (i love the look of this)
VS
7 screamers 175 pts

I was thinking:
Survivability to the bikes but the 2w and guranteed invuln does look tasty in cc against cc specialists.
Damage (favorable cc): bikes (meq/i4 or less)
Flexibility (ability to deal with various threats) prolly goes to the screamers with amour bane and ap2 but that said there is melta b for av but thats more a laist ditch attempt rather than a good option.
Mobility: jetbikes vs bikes? screamers win? + the demonic deployment but pretty even?

Or wait till the new CD codex?

Another thing: Im looking in the csm codex- can anyone see where these bikes have tl bolters? is it in the brb or something? i can see references to exchanging them for combis and stuff but... am i know im being stupid/blind but... ?!

I'd give flexibilty to bikes because they shoot and for some extra points you can get 2 specials on them.
TL bolter is included in the bike entry in the armory (pg. 66)

10 bikers, MoS and IoE, power weapon and melta bombs on the AC and take Huron or Ahriman for the D3 infiltrate and a normal lord on a bike with a murder sword and laugh as you 1st turn charge. =P

Can't 1st turn charge with infiltrating units unless you go 2nd.

Juggernauts are also calvary so a MOK lord could also keep up, too bad Kharne is stuck on foot.

I'm thinking 10 with veterans of the long war, and either mok+wrath or mos+excess. Maybe add 2 melta guns for opening transports.

You know, I haven't actually found where it says you can't turn 1 assault if you go first. I've only found that for the Scout special rule in the FAQ.
