I'd argue that you can replace both the Plasma Pop^H^H^HBlastgun and the
Turbo-Laser Destructor with a 2x AT shot weapon, and then you can also
drop the restrictions.
 
One might point out that 2 AT shots is rather worse than your typical
Eldar Pulsar. One might point out in return that the Eldar are
*supposed* to have better laser technology, so why not give them this
edge?
 
Anyway, adopting the 2x AT shots lets the Plasma Blastgun use that, the
Plasma Cannon the HWB (since it was a high-volume, though rather
deadlier, weapon) and the Plasma Destructor the Death Ray (toned down a
bit, but then you can now shoot and move next turn...).
