Ever wished that you could field 3 Defenders, whatever the cost? If so, how would you fly them?

Well, I'm torn between two lists for a 200 points Epic game. So, experts, please help me make up my mind

List 1/x7 - 199 Points

/x7 Vessery - Predator - Stealth Device

/x7 Glaive - Predator - Stealth Device

/x7 Glaive - Predator - Stealth Device

Howlrunner - PTL - Stealth Device

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

List 2/D - 200 Points

/D Vessery - Predator - Ion Cannon

/D Glaive - Predator - Ion Cannon

/D Glaive - Predator - Ion Cannon

Howlrunner - Crackshot

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

TIE - Black Squad - Crackshot

Toying with the idea of PTL on the x7s (maybe with Engines) instead of Predator/adjustments, but Predator works soooo sweet when considering the additional attack on the Ds, and all the swarms I face. Any constructive thoughts would be appreciated...
