Probably nothing at this point. Was hoping for some help narrowing it down, but the response has basically been 'everythings great.'

Indecision wins again.

Well I think I've got a tally here (some of you are too ambiguous!)
Black Widow & Sleipnir - 6 votes
High Roller - 5 votes
Arrow - 4 votes
Legend Killer - 3 votes
Huginn & Ilya Muromets - 2 votes
Jade Kite, Ultraviolet & Ember - 1 vote

So go on, treat yourself to a new Heavy and Assault, then maybe a Medium too

[chucklesMuch]

You spend 80% of you time in mediums and heavies... grab a High Roller and a Black widow.

Edit and grab a sleipher if you are wanting more assault time

Got a finite amount of MC, and other things I 'need.' Something like...

+5,166 (The 'Bank')
-750 (5 MechBays during next MechBay Sale)
-1,688 (Theoretical sale price of K-9 sometime after release)
=2,728MC

Hm, guess that knocked the Sleipner out. Whoops.

Great.

So High Roller or Black Widow then

[N0ni]

Given the finite MC, Black Widow. More build options than a High Roller.

Note that the HR has a very nice 81kph ootb, but is a XL275. Due to the profile/hitbox of the Bushwacker, the side torsos get hit often. If you swap it out for a LFE, it's better cuz again due to the profile/hitbox, damage spreads nicely across the 3 torsos.

Can't go wrong with the Warhammer.

Bushwhacker is a darn good chassis, and does fine with an XL engine; Highroller would not disappoint. Never driven them, but people are always cleaning up with Sleipnir and Widow. Just pick a weight class and click your space bucks away.
