I think you forgot to divide by two the total of weapons purchased:

Example Phantom armed with one pulsar, wing cannon, miisle launcher wing
and power fist costs 600 points (150 + 100 + 50 +300 =600/2, 300 points
for the weapons and 300 for the hull). Any standard decent armed phantom
will cost about the same it always had, the overpowered variant (double
pulsar and wing lascannon) would cost 750 points (300 + 300 + 150 + 150=
900/2, 450 plus 300 for the hull 750), which is only 150 points more
than normal. Of course as I stated in the original posting we could just
half the points cost and avoid any dividing at the end.

As you can see an averagely armed titan is worth the same as it used to
only any overpowered version costs more, but not exagerately so (2 Vp's
more in case of the titan with double everything).
