the main difference is that the fusion plasma combo + multitracker is expensive and only usefull at short range. where as the t/l plasma is very cheap and can fire out to 24" on the move. lets you keep your crisis out of range and still shoot accuratly. downsides to the t/l plasma are that your not good at killing vehicles (use your railgun for that anyways) doesnt instakill heroes and can potentially do less wounds overall.
So the question becomes does the insta killing ability and antitank ability make up for being that close to the enemy and the ability to instakill 2 wound models? IMHO no it doesnt. I dont want to be that close as many times CC units are within charge range even after I move back and there arent enough 2 wound models to make the instakill ability worthwhile. that and i allways seem to roll snake eyes for my fusion gun! I HATE THAT! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I do however use a shas'o with 2 tl fusion guns multitracker and a plamsa rifle. he pops behind tanks or termies and lets them have it.
