Overall I am disturbed that chaos is so cheap. if you get to roll for random daemons, then you need to make stuff more expensive. not by much as there is no marine rules.
For any BL formation to be capable of summoning Daemons they have to pay 25 points for a Daemonic Pact (per formation that wants to be able to summon) and 20 points per lesser Daemon in the Daemon pool (cannot summon anything unless you buy the Daemons for the pool).
To summon Greater Daemons becomes even more expensive (50 points for the Champion character and 75 points for the Greater Daemon to go into the pool).
So as you have suggested ( to make the formation slightly more expensive if you get to summon Daemons) it is already covered in the rules.

the fact that you can plant down sooo many large formations that have on average one better stat than a marine and you are cheaper is a bit of a cop out. JB lost cause I caused blast markers, they alone won the game. and it was the 2 devastator units that did that, and the Stormravens (thank god they have been toned down). The only thing I feel you can do, is make the Chaos Termies 25 points more expensive. While you get no marine rule, adding a GD in to a cc with a titan is going to make that combat very short.
As has been stated above, to be capable of summoning Daemons, the cost of a Daemonic Pact (25 points by the way) does make the formation slightly more expensive and even more expensive if you want to be able to summon a Greater Daemon.
