I just think that justifying it by saying marines get something nice doesn't really work since they pay for it and it is balanced by other factors like their lack of sweet tanks and heavy weapon team troop choices.
However the discussion has moved on a bit I guess.

I agree with everything you have just said but the plasma cannon is also the same amount of points as the armoured sentinel option. Now if it is dropped to 15, that would make the Chimera 5 points cheaper than the sentinel option and outclassing it in every way better maneuverability, more firepower as it also has a hull weapon for the same price, the ability to carry infantry etc. In essence it should be overpriced perhaps 25 to 30 points. And I think the Plasma Cannon is pretty badly overcosted on the Armoured Sentinel. Same as with the Chimera, 75 Points for one AV12 Plasma Cannon just isn't worth it. On the other ongoing discussion: Razorbacks are perhaps a bad point of comparison, because the reduced Transport Capacity adds an extra cost to them that's difficult to measure in Points. I actually think Razorbacks should be much cheaper than they are for Vanilla Marines, since they run 5-6 man Squads so much worse than the other Marine Armies do.
