When I decided to play eldar for the league, one of the reasons was so I could play with my new nightwing conversion (shown to left minus canopy). At the time the unit suffered from a ridiculous point cost but with the release of IA11 it dropped down by almost 50%. It lost some key features as detailed here but became a justifiable expenditure in the process.
For 145 points, you get two brightlances and 2 shuriken cannons. You can get a comparable falcon (2 shuriken cannons, star engines)

Corsair Army List Analysis
I was fortunate enough to get a copy of IA11 for Christmas and since then have been trying to get some games in with the new Corsair list. I've managed to get 2 1850 games in and 1 Apoc game that doesn't really count. Both 1850 games have been vs. blood angels and I have to say I really like how the army plays. It is similar to a mech Eldar army but taken to an extreme. Eldar are shooty, Corsairs are super shooty, Eldar are fragile, Corsairs deem of the day they can be a tough as Eldar. Craftworld eldar can be fast, corsairs are always fast. There are a few items that the corsairs really miss, namely quality psychic powers and defense. Overall I think FW did a good job making an alternate list that is similar but different without making it over/underpowered. The internal balance could use some tweaking but no codex is perfect.
Here are a few sentences about each unit.
