if i were to ever play a tau army, (not bloody likely mind!) i would probably include the ethereal for the fire warrior bodyguard! BS4 fire warriors are dead scary and it would free up some of those marker light hits for other units to use...
that and his inspiring presence rule is nifty! you only need a line of sight, so you can still deploy the ethereal at the back of your lines in some nice solid cover too!
cheers!
