A thought:

Drop two heat sinks, and replace with two medium lasers (or even ER medium lasers).

You now have a bracket-fire machine. Twin ER PPC’s for long-range combat at a run for no heat. Twin LPL’s, twin (ER) ML’s and a SRM-4 for close-range brawling at no (or just a little if you go ER on the meds) heat.
