The most common enemies for me are an Eldar Wraith army, an Imperial Fist Space Marines bunker, and Chaos with Nurgle Terminators. The Venom looks good to me against these guys for essentially ignoring their high toughness advantage.
On the other hand, a Raider gives me a Dark Lance or Disintegrator (although from what I've seen the Lance is the preferable option).
So, at 750 points, does this look any better?
