Actually, rather then dropping one of the trooper squads entirely, just drop one from each of the 8-man units and drop a single Penitent Engine. May not even need to drop both troopers. Go cheap on the chimera, no need for the pintle bolter for instance.
That, I think, would be very much worth the cost. Think about it, the Inquisitor unit's only options for reaching CC are a transport and footslogging it. And even with the bump up to 4+ saves from the previous 6+, it'd still get maulled from shooting long before it reached assault if it foot-slogged the entire way. Yeah, a Battle Cannon with a lucky hit could really ruin your day in the transport. But even with 4+ saves said battle cannon would most assuredly ruin your day without the transport, and wouldn't even need to be that lucky to do it.
