I wasn't saying play the Shadowcat like a Stormcrow, I realise they are totally different mechs. The point I was trying to get across was that, currently, the Stormcrow is simply better as a medium mech. If you want a fast, ECM capable, Clan chassis then the Arctic Cheetah is maybe a better choice.
Still, as I say, it's just my opinion
I understand where you're coming from, and really, no one would entirely disagree, but it's a matter of playstyle and strategy.
For me, my sCat makes a better SRM striker than my Crow because of the ECM and MASC. I can get in, deliver some punches, and then get out a lot more easily. The sCat ends up being like my Griffins, nimble, agile, and quick.
Now, lots of people don't use the Crow for SRM striking, so, there's that. But, like I said, it's a matter of playstyle.
