Whereas, both Pedro Kantor and Vulkan He'stan are crazy good now. Pedro drop-pods and Sternguard give you lots of close-range shooty where you want it, without any of the perils of Deep Striking Mishaps. Vulkan still gives you stupid good meltas, flamers (which got buffed with overwatch) and TH, which are all great.

With Pedro you however lose combat tactics which you just praised. Stubborn is cool and fluffy, but CT is better.

I wouldn't say that the vanilla marines are insanely better than the BA anyway. I'd call the vanilla marines a decent codex, whereas the BA are poor. The vanilla marines simply aren't the IG or Necrons. I'd lable Pedro and Vulkan "solid" but not "crazy good".
