I'm sure they would sell a ton of mech packages if they were bland, boring and didn't stand out as being in some way stronger than their counterparts. There is financial motivation to make these things OP and worry about balance issues later. Raise your hand if you think the new clan light coming out (at a bare minimum) will get hit with the nerf hammer 6 months after it's release...or roughly...a few weeks after it's available for C-bills. Fox is guarding the hen house people...
Food for thought
