The way I see it, you're spending an extra 20+ points on a model that has a slightly better stat line (not that it matters, his forte is shooting anyway) and an extra 6" to range on his 1 shot. I think you could save a lot of points by simply dropping this guy down to a regular trooper. Meltas at BS 4 is awsome. I seriously doubt any tank will stand up to these guys for long... Even without tank hunters. Your average score per shot is 8+7 = 15. See many AV 15 tanks out there? That's why I think its a little overkill to give these guys tank hunters as well. But, it's your call.
Thanks for the applauds Gotta admit the only reason I'm takin the firepike is that the mini looks so damn cool! And the better stat line may come in handy iff the shootin phase goes pear shapped and I have to crack out the melta bombs. Good thing I didn't take tankhunters for this squad, I think its overkill too.
