Shock factor
2 er large laser builds have become the norm for long range light mechs.
The damage one receives with 2 erll is expected, but 3 gives the damage dealt a little more weight of consideration. If you dealt this damage to say a medium mech, you would have given him a worse burn that would shake his or her confidence. Likewise, if you find an unwary light mech standing at optimum distance, you can strip the armor or even outright destroy a leg.
Without the extra tonnage for better heat, while you may surprise them, it won't be effective. If I see a light with 3 ERLL my first thought is "LOL, I will chase that down because he can't continually fire that without shutting down."
Also, an "unwary light mech standing" is doing it wrong. Why isn't it moving?

This is a point I didn't discuss earlier, but when you're in a position to help out a team mate against a lone opponent or two, dealing a massive alpha is going to help tip the tide. I find most opponents do target the larger mechs first when faced with multiple opponents.

In a prolonged engagement, you'll be of more use to your team by being able to repeatedly fire 2 ERLL into a mech engaged in a brawl that shooting 3 ERLL 3 times and shutting down.
