Base points on that thing should be somewhere around 146

Agreed. 145-146. You could get Vader and Soontir and a couple points for bid or flavor. Or Vader and add Supernatural and have room for an Academy TIE. 149 base and you could cut Soontir out of the equation.

I was really excited to read about Vader flying a TIE Defender in Thrawn: Alliances by Timothy Zahn, the second book in Zahn's new Thrawn trilogy.

Only in his prototype X/1 had he ever felt such power in a fighter before, or the incredible balance between speed and nimbleness

Hmm. Vader's X1 title for red boost or evade action when? Not likely but still I sometimes feel like the TIE/x1 missed the mark in 2nd edition as it's nowhere near the TIE/D. It would make a great subject for cardboard expansion in the future, at a very heavy cost. (Title + Engine Upgrade makes for an awesome scary Vader – I'd pay 80 points).
