Which Veers List to go With for Tourney?

This first list revolves around having a fully buffed AT-ST as a general purpose counter to whatever enemy unit(s) pose the biggest threat, with 4 corps and two speeder bike squads. The 3 corps units with DLTs are meant to push for and hold objectives, while the 4th would mainly stay by Veers as his bodyguard , with impact grenades for anything that tries to take him out at close range. The speeder bikes are there to disrupt the opponents order of command and displace/engage opportune targets, controlled by Veers commanding presence. (snowtroopers aren't taken into account because only veers will be out before the tounament on April 28)

List 1: 793/800

General Veers [80]
Esteemed Leader [5]
Commanding Presence [10]

The 2nd list trades concentrated firepower on the AT-ST for emphasis on having more minis in each core unit along with an hh-12 trooper to counter vehicle advances in areas of the board that the AT-ST can't. Veers' bodyguard has an extra trooper instead of impact grenades, and the 2 remaining squads have DLTs.

There are still 2 speeder bike squads with the same purpose. Another trade off with this one is that I am less likely to be the blue player with the higher point cost.

Any suggestions are appreciated :).

The second unit looks better in my opinion. Though I would drop the bonus stormtroopers for some targeting scopes and a 2nd HH-12 trooper to sit near veers. Spotter is a great keyword with them, and the card that lets them recover for free is incredible as a second shot card. Move up and aim, dodge/fire E-11's T1, aim, dodge, and fire T2, command card them T3 to recover, aim, dodge, and fire.
