Yah, I definitely think all of the defensive bolters should be of the
15cm 6+ no save mod variety (Rhinos, LR, Superheavies). But, I'd like
to still see things like attack bikes, nobz warbikes etc have a better
deal than that, but would not get the auto CC defense. If you want to
avoid confusion, call all the ones that are going to be different
"Misc.HvyWeapons" on the charts or something. Sorta like the exarchs
"artifacts" - whether the bikes have meltas, hvy bolters, grenade
launchers, whatever it's all pretty much the same in game terms.
But after all, isn't the variety part of the reason we're here
discussing this instead of exclusively playing E40K ? :)
