Still, if that was the only reason to have such a device (and it being a bit lighter as a result), it would make sense.

Actually, if you allow SPAs, you don't need to dedicate tonnage at all to get the Called Shot ability. Maximum Tech had the 'Bull's-eye Marksman' advanced pilot ability which granted the pilot the same ability with some strict restrictions. (Stationary and can only be done with one weapon and no other weapons fire from the pilot that turn.)
I imagine they ported that over to the current batch of SPAs. It would give Trueborn pilots something to really set them apart if they're granted one SPA like this as part of their generation at the start of a game.
