Aye, you are correct, in action I tend to view it as a sliding scale, with box launchers at one end, representing the full alpha, come home with your shield or on it approach, and at the other, you have the more cautious full reload tactically flexible approach.
What works best for you is probably always going to be very situational, depending on the interaction between the current tactical, logistical, intelligence and strategic situation. Personally I think sacrificing rate of fire for throw weight leaves you critically vulnerable to the unknown and the unexpected, but if you modify your approach to account for this, or cover it in other areas, then it might never be a problem.
That might though, that's the bit I don't like. I'm a bloodbowl player, that next 1 is just a dice throw away.
