Of the leading 3 IS medium Mechs in Gas's poll, the Chimera is easily the worst. Not as bad as in TT, as you can switch the MRM for something that suits such a Mech better, but still very bad. It has few hardpoints to begin with, and those few hardpoints are highly eclectic. It has a horrible geometry with hugely vulnerable STs, and with that weight you'd want an XL.
Sha Yu and Sentry are vastly superior at 40 tons.
I mean we could invoke the Uziel-principle again, i.e. preferring an objectively bad unit for no other reason than MW:4, so that nobody wins in the end.

I like the Sha Yu, it's a mean little beast.... More to the point it's the SYU-6B that I really like.
Also kind of surprised, yet not surprised that you didn't mention the Watchman as a 40t unit...
