I am a huge fan of the Panther, and I appreciate what you are attempting to do, but the jump jets are what makes the Panther what it is. It "pounces" in the "jungle" of a city.
By removing that advantage, for a limited gain in speed, the Panther gains no significant advantage but looses its primary advantage. The speed boost will not help it in the country, and the lack of jump jets penalizes the machine in the city.
Overall the loss is not made up for by the machine gun (though I like the idea of such a weapon for the machine. Perhaps downgrading the SRM 4 to an SRM 2 would be what is needed. Another idea I had was reducing the PPC to a Large Laser).

A bit of a belated response, but one nonetheless. This Panther was meant as an open-country variant. In the context of the Third Succession War, 5/8 was a fairly good speed for a raider, or even reconnaissance in force in certain situations; personally I view it as the threshold speed for 'mechs I'd consider for jobs where speed is important, at least before the advent of the XL engine. One of the most impressive achievements of the Clans, from the Inner Sphere's point of view, was that their main-line heavy 'mechs were as fast as the medium 'mechs the Successor Lords used as raiders.
