I currently have a Jagermech (JM6-A), 4,500,000 C-bills, and a desire to purchase my second mech. I do not want to have to buy MC to get my second mech.

I've heard that mastering three of the same chassis is nice because of the multipliers to the basic perks, but I really think that more diversity would be fun (i.e. jump jets, ECM, speed... things that the Jagermech lacks).
I enjoy that the Jagermech-A lets me play a variety of roles--heavy ACs, LRMs and ER Large Lasers, short-range hitter, etc. However, I feel like the only real advantage of the other Jagermech chassis is that they can carry more than 2 ACs--which sounds fun--but I don't want another Jagermech right now.

Accordingly, here are the chassis I'm considering (and a brief note why):
Commando (CMD-2D) (ECM; speed; missiles; ability to TAG/NARC for team)
Spider (SDR-5D) (ECM; speed; jump jets; ability to TAG for team)
Blackjack (BJ-1) (ballistics hardpoints; jump jets; speedier than Jagermech; high weapon hardpoints)
Shadowhawk (SDH-2H) (ballistics hardpoints; jump jets; speedier than Jagermech; high weapons hardpoints)
Edit: I'd also like a mech that will allow me to use its engine in my Jagermech in a pinch; I only have the Standard 260 engine right now.

Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any relevant input!
