I like 'em.  I have a box of each type -- I use some of them as Combine
GEVPCs for Ogre, and for DSII I've used some of them as a Merc unit -- I
wanted to see how grav tanks with low armor and high stealth would work
on
the battlefield.  The answer: not all that well.

I generally chop off the gun barrel and replace it with something a
little
sturdier.  I've scratchbuilt SLAM and ADS turrets for them as
well...with
mixed results.	When/if I find a good source of alternate turrets, I'll
be
painting them up as my Illuminati force for DSII.
