I have two and enjoy using them in the same list. I mainly play casually at 500 points though which makes it easier to bring other ships that pack more of a punch.
Any reason the get a second quasar?

Change Rudor into Mauler Mithel and that looks a nice fleet.
I dunno, Valen has all those TIE bombers to tank behind before he can be targeted. With Mithel he's target number one.

This.

And what is wrong with a scatter ace being target number one?
I have never understood this argument, surely you want the enemy to shoot your scatter aces rather than generic escorts? Mauler Mithel, Soontir Fel and Howl are all perfect escorts for much more fragile squads.
Mauler's splash damage cannot be overestimated! Even he goes off only once, against 3 hull scatter aces, mauler just got those flight controlled, ruthless strategists'ed bombers way closer to the end zone.
Probably would go with one of the quasars being a I with expanded hangars. Or maybe both, and upgrade them squads.

It is more "Hey I can't move my squadrons unless I have intel or kill a bunch of heavy squadrons.

I've never done the double Quasar, but I did the ruthless strategists + Quasar 2 and 6 bombers a few days ago. It felt really dirty.
Toss a red die -> miss -> automatic damage. Repeat!
