The potential to have about 700pts of your army either move 12" (hover) from reserve, get shot by interceptor, then again by regular shooting to leave your Termies stranded midfield, OR move 36" (zoom) then potentially taken down by interceptor and kill a bunch of termies is not very appealing.
I would consider the Caestus ram as even interceptors will have a tough time getting through AV13 and you get a 5++ front armour save without having to evade, drop the big boys then zoom around laying large melta pie-plates.
Either way they're gonna be uber fire-magnets and cost a lot of points. The IG vendettas (or valkyries, I forget), while not as tough, carry as much if not more firepower for a third of the cost...
I'm just not sold on the point/efficiency of SM flyer-transports, it would be nice to see some battle reports of people who have actually used them.

My 2 cents, hope it helps you make a decision.

P.S. once I have some $$ I'll be all over the Spartan tank though! ;b
