I like it personally and it all sounds reasonable to me.

But from all of the talk here about GMS and infantry portable AT weapons
in 
general I get the impression that you guys equip your squads with a lot
more 
AT firepower than I do.  I generally give every squad some AT ability,
but 
that may just be a 'simple' plasma weapon.  And as for GMS-P, I tend to
keep 
those as platoon level assets (or in the case of orks, company level
assets).
