Efficiency of Plasma MSU Plague Marines?

I'm tempted to do up a Heresy Style DG 1000pts army.

I've got some leftover parts and there is that Wraithbone spray paint after all...

 

But the bulk of that army would be 1 wound Power Armor models.

 

Now as I mainly play Loyalist Oldmarine C:SM, having T5 Troops with 3 Plasma Guns seems a treat to me...

And the RF range bonus should offset the 5" movement.

But I don't see them a lot in the lists around. Is it because other units are just even better or am I missing something about these 'Super Tac Marines'? (pardon my loyalist french)

In the beginning of 8th I used some triple plasma. I found I got more use out of two blight launchers than I did three plasma, and the plasma cost more. Plague marines just drop like wet noodles. In alot of cases, Intercessor's with their 2W are far more resilient than plague marine's T5 and 5+++. So paying 20 pts for two blight launchers panned out better than paying 33pts for three plasma I found.
