Well, yes you're right but... :)
OK, perhaps the save of 2+ is too important in close assault against
a WE with CC weapon, but as you wrote it's harder to fight a WE whith
a holofield than a WE without so I suggest (as a house rule of
course) to give a +1 bonus to the Eldar titans in this kind of Close
Assault...

interests...
