1750 Tau list

I think I've got a list to suit my play style, it's 1745 and builds from the list that got such a beating on Monday.  As I'm writing the list I'm going over in my head how each unit can be used, and how I can use the synergy between units to back each other up and focus fire. It's got lots of yummy units and some that can be refitted depending on how they perform or how I feel the wargear/weapons are working out. This list will not be used or posted until 2 criteria have been met.

1) I need to buy additional models to make this work (and magnetize them)
2) It will be fully painted in my new scheme that's been running through my head. The suits and tanks will mirror this scheme, suits either having blue shoulders like the troops, or having blue centre stripes.

Ow, that's not fair keeping us in suspense like that :)

Haha, the list might go up sooner to get some feedback. I'm not really in the mood for assembling 12 more Crisis Suits, especially when I want the Command team to XV9's. From checking around "the interwebz" it doesn't seem too different from many other lists. I've just tried to reduce the random factor from a lot of the army by making things twin linked, or BS 4. Also using 4 crisis teams (including the command team) to support each other and not bounce about on their own.
Hard choices are things like:

Give the Fishes SMS and TL, for a move 6 and shoot 8 Str 5, AP 5 shots?

Use 2 Fireknife Pattern Suits or 1 Firekife and 1 Helios?

ASS or TL for the Broadsides?

Pathfinders or a Piranha?

McDonalds or Burger King?

Ben & Jerrys or Haagen Dasz?

Ok ok.. Maybe at the end I was thinking about dinner!
Choosing the right units for a balanced list that can react and not just do 1 trick is harder than I thought!
