Any of the newer mechs notable for consideration?

I have 3 variants of the Cataphract (1X, 3D and 4X) and I am liking it a lot. The 4X has 4 ballistic slots but they're all in the arms so it limits what you can fit in there. I tried a build with 4 x AC5s and it was okay. I know a popular build on the forums is to put 4 x AC2s or 2 x UAC5s & 2 x AC2s. I ended up throwing in an XL 255 (the 4X has a lower engine limit than the other variants) an LB-10X in each arm and a large laser in the center torso. 8-10 tons of ammo.
The 3D is very awesome though. Currently I am running mine with a STD 280, 2 x UAC5 and 4 x Medium Lasers. It's the most expensive variant because it comes with a XL 280 but it is also the only jump jet capable variant if you're into that. Haven't tried the 1X yet.
