Only if you plan to use the Phantom to cloak often enough for it to matter. The idea here is to try a cheaper and generally non-cloaking phantom, and keep it alive with lightweight frame long enough to put its 4 attack dice to good use. Without cloaking you're missing out on some agility (variable amount... 1 - 2 depending on attackers) and repositioning, but you're saving a lot of points and opening up a different tactic by not investing in the cloak.

At that point you have a ship with 4 attack, 2 - 3 agility, 4 health and a decent maneuver dial, for as little as 27 to 35 points.
