I guess. The 2+ armor is great vs S5 spam attacks though. Repulsor is super-flimsy.

Honestly if someone wants to waste that many S5 shots on a Repulsor I say go for it. You know how many shots it would take?

Repulsor is so expensive it's still efficient.

Assuming the Tau are the firing army and are likely shooting at BS4+, 290 S5 shots to kill one Repulsor. 216 if they have 3+ to hit.

How many points of Tau is that exactly?

If they are all rapid-firing with pulse rifles or armed with pulse carbines, and assuming 3+ to hit, it's about 750pts of Fire Warriors. It's just over a 1000pts at 4+ to hit, and up to 2000pts if they're not all in range for 2 shots each.
