With the Ice Ferret being the next Clan mech out, what are some expected builds and uses that people are coming up with?

As usual the Prime is not the best variant. With its limited hard points I can see this one as a scout.
I do like the options of the next two variants having center torso energy hard points that will allow a little zombie action. I am thinking a really fast SRM hit and run or a fast LRM pest. Of course there is a really fast light killer with some dakka dakka or SSRMs.

Ups Sorry Mist Lynx.
LA ECM 1t leaves 7.5t in RA for 2 Missel 1 Energie. Streak are too heavy. 2 SRM6 3t Ammo 2t 1 ER Medium Laser.1t...Leaves 1t for a Targeting Computer......So all will look alike. That gives 31dmg push. Enough for a 25t mech I think.
Mom for the 45t.

9.75t for 2 Missel and 3 Energie Hardpoints.
3 ER Med Laser 3t
3t 2 SRM6
2t Ammo
1.75 for armor upgrade and whatever.

horrible thing when considering its speed. the first real hit and run mech the clanners get.

Because the Ice Ferret is to be delivered next Tuesday the 4th, (That soon! Squee!) I felt it was a good idea to revisit this thread.

So, any ideas for Ice Ferret builds? Here are my quick ones I jotted down, as well as the hardpoint options.

Build 1: 4xMPL, DHS
Build 2: 3xSRM4+4 tons, 1xMPL
Build 3: 4xML, NARC+2 tons, AMS+1 ton

Here's my Spreadsheet Warrior Online reference...

WIth its limited weight and high speeds I see it being a long range skirmisher. Probably the main way I'll run it is:

2 X ER LL + 1 x ER ML.

Also toying around with:

UAC/2 + 2 x ER ML
ER LL + 3 x LRM5

I think a fast striker with SRMs as you suggest would be good too. Though I would take an ER ML over the MPL.

A few more from my other thread:

Build 4: 2xERLL, 1xDHS (very similar to yours)
Build 5: (For Bonuswarrior Online) 3xML, 1xTAG, 1xNARC+2 tons, 1xDHS
