Neal Hunt's view is that as some SW troops are cheaper by formation than standard Codex for various reasons but have a similar effect on the first action/air assault as Codex troops, there should be an upwards adjustment to compensate.
I might be wrong. That may be less of a discrepancy with the LC.
No worries Neal. I think I'll leave it as 375 for now though.

At least some sort of deepstrike - planetfall, or a combo of planetfall and air.
Aside from Frogbear's negative view of it, I think jacking the price up too much will see them unused most often than not and really just runs against the fluff. I also think that you can't really get around Marines air assault as it's something they do well. In fact I'm starting to think that that's just a fact of life with a marine list and complaints about seeing too many marine air lists is just something we have to deal with.
It might just be a possibility that the SM list was written to be just such a thing and all the other gear in the list is for scenario/friendly play. If you know it's coming in a tourney you should be able to work out how to defeat it, right? Actually, wouldn't that be a weakness of a SM tourney list if it follows that design?
