No Infantry !!! Madness !!! Too bad E:A fell back into what many games of the past have ... making Grunts of little use. That was one of the things that first attracted me to SM1 ... infantry could actually do some things that they were supposed to do. And that is not a mechanized force, he is taking, it is an armored force. A Mech force by definition is Infantry in tracks ... with some tank support if he's lucky ...

Um... That's not his army list, guys. That's what he has to choose from.
Mich: I'd go with list 1, with a couple mods.
1) Drop the razorbacks and hunter from the tac formation. It's an okay base of fire unit, but if you are going that route, you will get more bang from devastators. I prefer to keep the tacs as multi-functional as possible.
2) Drop the LRs with the devs, replace them with razorbacks. It's the same amount of AT fire for half the price. It's also faster at deploying, and since you can't garrison with the transports, you really need to get to your firing position in your first move. I would also replace the Hunter cut from the tacs in this formation.
3) At this point, you've got some extra points left (~250, plus whatever leftover you had). I would strongly consider preds for a lot of AT fire without much cost. I would also consider adding a commander to the tacs or the other termie formation. With the termies, it will make a wicked 2 formation/commander/chaplain assault. A commander with the tacs would give you a second multi-formation assault. If it came down to it, I would drop the scouts to fit the preds and commanders in.
Just my personal preference, though...

No announcement on the SG page, but the v$ Tau list is up.
Bunch of new vehicles, but the idea is to see which 2/3 are the coolest/flavourfulest/usefulest, and so on, and eventually to pare it down to just a few new units.
