I would catagoricly say , so what?

I use a mix of Epic, CMD figures and Renegade leagon, and find that the
mix
is great.

for example, i use of Epic falcons for a size 4 grav tank, as well as
the
RL stuff as size 3 and 4.

Remeber that there is a slight scale difference between Imperial and
American scales, but in real terms this is so slight it does not matter.

Use the older GW stuff. Cheaper (you can find them in discount bins) 
and
they are more in scale with the CMD stuff.

I use Mechs extensively (at lkeast 1 per army), Remember that Mechs are
way
overgunned in DSII (as are Renegade Legon). For exapmple, I like the
Rifleman mech, but there is no way I can put f good guns on a size 4/5
mech, the space would not allow it (you also have missiles and PDS on
these
things and that too eats up space).
