I think i've only taken out a squat Colossus/Leviathan
once, and that was with an early Slann version.
They're pretty darn cheap if you compare them to other
Titans/Praetorians, but the rationale here has always
been that the Squats should have cheap Praetorians since
they're so good at building them or something.
Compare their firepower and staying power to f.ex a
Necron Titan.
