While I really, really want a Rattlesnake somewhere down the line (sometime after my Phoon finally has T2 torps), I think that if you've trained both Gallente and Caldari BS to 5 (as well as high shield and cap skills) to be able to fly a Rattlesnake, then the question is possibly why bother? For not much more of iSK, there's the Golem, which sports a pretty massive tank as well as high dps (there's highly rated PvE fitting on Battleclinic with two TP's for even more damage) as well as the ability to loot/salvage as you go.
In a cost effectiveness scenario, I would think a Golem is probably better, apart from which, if you are someone who blitzes missions for LP and rewards, then you're probably better in a Golem as well.
The final thing to possibly think about is your attractiveness to gankers if you're flying loads of faction mods. There the Domi wins hands down.

The reason I want the Snake is simply the LVL 5`s you cant do solo in any other BS....Lvl 5`s are very hard and they suck your cap extremely fast...You need passive so thats what im planning.
Ah ok. Being neuted in a Lvl5 is probably not fun in an active tank ship. I have heard of people soloing them in passive Ishtars, but I don't know how true that is.

I agree.
Seriously guys, putting faction/better TANK modules on your ship and/or T2 rigs just for running lvl4 missions would be so stupid I can't even begin to express my sincere concern for your mental capabilities.
pimp rattler is made for lvl5 missions, that's all really.. That, or morbid pvpers with a very big wallet.
Oh, and also perhaps solo-wormholing... but that would be silly because you would get ganked immediatelly .. it would work though (you could put probe launcher and cloak in highslots)
I don't do this myself, but I've often enough seen people flying fantastically expensive faction fit Golems/CNRs around hisec for running lvl 4s. I don't personally care all that much, but if it works for them and they don't get ganked, all the power to them I say.
