Well this is certainly more balanced, but yes, lacking that second Albatross!
It is more flexible, has rock-hard command (putting you on a level playing field with most other 1500 armies), and I like the addition of the Snipers. They can fulfill another AA role with Precision Small Arms fire (Each base has single E7 AA shot at range of 18" countered), and they can decimate enemy infantry that come to the walls, as snipers ignore body and soft cover.
Remember, you won't know for sure how well these lists work until you've tested them a bit for real, so by all means go ahead and create the first list (with a CV value somewhere), as its using the models that you like, and I'm just theorising! You may find you like the way it plays, and just needs small tweaks, editing a squad or two here and there as you go through battles.
With that first list, you have great volume of E10 and E11 hits, which means you can level buildings quickly with concentrated fire, and like I said, nobody will want to go and take on either of those two huge AT bricks, so you can control board space that way.
For what its worth, I have this rough personal aim of trying to collect one squad of every Scourge unit available. This keeps buying and painting interesting, and I plan to rotate units in and out of lists, testing them out in different combinations until I start to find the style that suits me. This will take a while, so my own 1500 lists will probably change every week.
