Your assessment is on point, Duo2000x. You could almost fix all of the problems with those ships by creating an X-wing and E-wing only Chaardan-style -2 point fix for the Torpedo slot.

That being said, I personally think that the T-65 X-wing has secretly slipped into the top tier of the game of late. Once IX hits in full, with Vectored Thrusters and R3, it will be firmly cemented with some of the best ships in the game. Don't be surprised if Luke, Wedge and Hobbie make an appearance in all the big 2017 lists. Still, bring on Tycho in an X-wing!

I assume anyone saying the E-wing doesn't need some small tweak is someone who has only played Corran Horn.
