I don't believe there's any real unbalance with size 2 & 3 vehicles of
this
type.  IIRC, when I was working on DS2 Vehicle Designer (Mac), in one of
my
discussions with St. Jon there was a consensus that there was little or
no
reason to restrict the walkers to a limited number of size classes.  I
haven't been through the rules in a while but if there's a difference in
the
formulas between the size 1 infantry walkers and the 4/5 transport
walkers.
