I want to like it, but the XL engine to go only 6/9 on a machine this light hampers that.
You could change the armor to ferro, give it an XL gyro, up the speed to 8/12, and still have a half ton with which to upgrade the ER small to a medium laser.
I’d also consider moving one laser to the head in this case.

fair point I should familiarize myself with the engine ratings and weights I have the construction/tech book.
