Disclaimer: I run two Chaos Vindicators with combi-flamers and havoc launchers.

That said, the extra weapons aren't really worth it. I only use the tanks in casual or narrative games (Predators do any actual work I need to get done), but I do find that rushing them up the table, guns blazing, makes them a decent distraction carnifex. With T8, they're rather durable, and you can use them to soak overwatch fire or just whittle stuff down.

Vindicators should NEVER be used for anti-tank. The demolisher cannon is very much unsuited for that kind of work in 8th Ed.
