The only weekness is the XL engine but thats the reason it give no modifier for XL and non XL engines.
I am curious why you don't want to give a modifier for STD/XL.To me, this is more important for Mechwarrior than for tabletop. In tabletop, XL's had less of a downside like on the Atlas-K or AWE-9m because it was only "luck" to focus fire a side torso with dice. However, in MWO it is simply point and click, so its is widely practiced to never never put XL in some mechs because of this vulnerability.
Suggestion:
STD Engine (old tech) : +Positive MBV on engine for the extra survivability with -negative spin-off; -Normal Speed, -Normal Payload,
XL Engine (new tech) : -Negative MBV Modifier on engine with +positive MBV spin-off; +Increased Speed, +Increased Payload,
This is because some builds "min max" XL's to increase payload, or to increase speed, or a mix of this but it still gives 3 center torsos. So we should assume the builder will in theory only use XL's to get a better MBV. (for example: a Pretty Baby with an XL 400 will have little payload for weapons, so there is a diminishing return MBV effect on top of having three center torsos)
This would capture some bonuses and downsides from driving a STD engine or an XL. However, I am worried your current MBVs would get wonky or inflated.
Cheers
