So the idea of an ELRM-equipped DI Morgan arose on the latest VotW thread and after a bit of thought I decided to give it a shot. I actually ended up with two nigh-identical models intended to work together with either each other or any C3 network of opportunity:

That's right -- the only difference is which carries the master and which gets the slave plus some extra ammo. Good luck figuring out which is which at a glance just by relying on ye olde Mk I Eyeball. :)
I could have squeezed about five more tubes onto the tank by going with two fifteen- and two ten-racks or just five tens as originally planned. But then I decided I'd rather have reasonably deep ammo bins and the support gear.
C-bill costs are "dry", but should be taken with a grain of salt -- I took them from MegaMekLab because that's generally more accurate than my current version of SAW, but I now noticed something a bit odd with the C-bill cost of ELRM 15s specifically that I may have to check back on on a rules board once I've decided which. The MML price tag for them looks correct by present errata, but I have my doubts about that in turn.
Edited to add: Okay, the errata is in and the ELRM-15 should indeed once again cost 350,000 C-bills a pop, not the post-original-errata 218,750 assumed by MML. With three launchers on a 100-ton tracked vehicle that amounts to an extra 787,500 per tank, which I've simply added by hand.
