I really like the model and I feel it could fit well in a Consair Army but how are its rules compared to the Wraithfighter? Is it overcosted?

It will be lacking in killing marines in the open but I am ok with that.

They became cheaper pointswise in the 2nd edition Imperial Armour 12.

Still they are VERY fragile and even bolter fire can take them down, almost always I am forced to Jink if targeted at all.
