Adil is definetly the better pick if you want Spitfire Crane. Two pts difference make me wonder about the pts-system. Theoreticaly I would pick the Crane over Adil if I want it to be the Lt. (saves 1,5 SWC and 8 pts), if I need the DA. That he is a Warhorse makes him so much better - maybe they forgot WH on the regular Cranes ;-)
I like the price! Not as fast as Garuda but fast enough. Albedo is meh. I'm still going up against troops that may have a single MSV in the army so Albedo is almost worthless. I was hoping for an actual repeater but Deployable Repeater is not bad. The Heavy Riotstopper is fantastic! And a good cheap specialist! I'm glad the combat jump is on 13. 11 PH would suck for that. Due to it's speed and Super Jump, there might be times I don't even use combat jump or parachutist. But I think my favorite is the BSG for only 17pts. It will be great for just causing trouble in a back line.
