Comments on this revised list appreciated.

That is a nice list. Since you're emphasizing tanks here, you don't need a whole bunch of infantry. You can use your two Grenadiers squads to snatch up objectives and have a reasonable chance of surviving the battle with all that armor on the table. If you wanted to bump up to 2000 you could always add a traditional infantry platoon for some gunline action, or two more squads of grenadiers (two in elites or one in elites and one in troops) and you'll be running around the table and dropping all kinds of template and pie plate damage all over the place. Good stuff.

The only thing worth considering, though it certainly isn't a necessary thing since you've got a bunch of lascannons already, is maybe take a grenadier squad and give them meltas instead of plasma. You might catch an enemy tank on its side armor with clever movement.
