Lets set aside the Demon Cluster for a minute to discuss the viability of stealth suits in 7th edition.
Pros:
Cheaper than Crisis Teams with Similar Suitability.
Resistance to Lascannons, which will be common due to their ability to get lucky explodes results
Fusion Blasters can put out some AP1 nastiness, while Burst Cannons provide adequate dakka
Terminator Saves in Cover
Cheep Markerlight
Fit in a Devilfish
Points heavy BS2 over-watch
Infiltrate allows you to hit priority targets with enough dakka to clear an objective of anything short of an MC.
Making AM Players not have Basilisks/Wyverns
Taking away their metal bawkses.
It would be a shame if we popped your prophet of the voices in the face before he could use those 16 warp charges.
Scoring Objectives on enemy table edge.
Cons:
Expensive
Likely to be charged, with buffed assault distance through their cover.
Noise Marines
Not being in the minimum range of a basilisk cannon
Toughness 3
Only one Fusion Blaster hit per Shooting Phase on average
Anything that isn't Slow and Purposeful or Heavy is going to outrun you unless you like a face full of Powerweapon.
Still die horribly to Helldrakes
If you are a power gamer, takes up a riptide slot

So what do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

I think Crisis are too good to pass. They have better weapon and wargear selections.

They can work better in a Farsight list, to serve as Homing Beacons. Still, I believe Tetras do this in a better way.

Theres enough S5 in the Tau army and using Fusion Blasters usually wastes your Burst Cannon shots. Fun and cool but not competitive at all.

I like them but I run very tasked builds.

Stealth markers with 3 BC, 2tl, 2 marker drones, 'vre w/ML upgrade and sometimes a DC, about 135 for decent firepower and 3 mobile ML.

The other is Shadowsun bomb. 6 suits and the Command link drone, with a 6 TLs, 2 FBs for 4 independent FB shots and 4 independent BCs all rerolling 1's to hit, and with a 3d6 assault move.
