well you can get four of these for the cost of a single Hunter, which is an improvement if you are looking for numbers. you will run into saturation of damage issues though. the turret is desireable as it allows fields of fire to be maintained in a mobile fight.
you might consider reducing the engine to a 4/6 and seeing if that will net you another LRM 5 or ammo.

Slowing to 4/6 only frees up one ton. That would let you condense the LRMs into a single LRM-10.

or more ammo, allows for some Thunder Munitions
