I keep going back and forth on including Jet Bike Skyhunters in my 2000 point EC army. I know they are very fluffy, but seem to find the unit overpriced and not really worth it.

thoughts from anyone using these in the past?

I've had some luck with Sky-Slayers, the Heavy Support choice version with all special weapons (all multimeltas for wrecking light vehicles and anything that didn't buy ceremite), but Skyhunters do seem somewhat lackluster.

I eventually re-purposed my Skyhunters into a Jetbike command squad and have been happier with that

I wouldn't say they shine as bright in EC versus White Scars or Dark Angels. 2+ T5 and very mobile with decent firepower isn't bad, but outside of taking the Sky Hunter Phalanx RoW (which seems lackluster), I am sure you are much better off with other options for EC.
