500 pt Harlequin list post CA input wanted!

It's quite a challenge but I see this going one of a couple of ways. Squeezing in a battalion gives tons of CP but means I have to give up a couple of things. Either limit the transports or melee weapons or ranged weapons etc etc. I would love to fit melee weapons in the transports or a solitaire or a DJ to camp an objective, but is any of that worth giving up 5CP? That is the question. I've yet to see any 500 point lists on here post-CA. I'd love some input :)

Soaring spite battalion 499 points 8CP

HQ: Troupe master w/embrace + fusion pistol 73 luck of the laughing god + faolchu's talon

HQ: Troupe master w/embrace + fusion pistol 73

Troop: Troupe x5 w/2 fusion pistols in starweaver 149

Troop: Troupe x5 w/2 fusion pistols in starweaver 149

Troop: Troupe x5 naked 55

The games will almost surely be on 4x4 tables so I figure with faolchu's talon I'll shoot one transport up 3 feet and be able to fusion anything on the board guaranteed. Other transport still moves 30" so should be able to reach a target as well. 3 fusions per transport. Clowns can jump out to crump a little bit with the two troupe masters being pretty vicious. Yeah?

My main concern is little focus on objectives. 2 transports full of clowns and 1 squad of troupes to hang back on an objective. I'll be planning on tabling or being tabled turn 2 or 3 probably. But harlequins just don't have cheap objective holders outside of death jesters. And replacing the naked troupe with a DJ means I'm giving up 5 CP. Doesn't seem worth it.
