Rattler hull was 490m when I picked it up last month. Not sure what the CNR is now, but got mine for 550m 6 or 7 months ago, so likely similar
I fit my CNR a la Liang (bows to a great fit û stop this being embarrassed about it nonsense), although played around with 2 TPÆs with Fury and 2 hardeners which was a bit too close to pop on a couple of occasions, and only use 3 x T1 rigors as the T2 was just silly expensive at time and never saw the need to upgrade. So for a rig perspective, the cost is similar
For your lows, IÆve gone as per the CNR except can only fit 3 CN BCS at moment. Will eventually drop the co-processor for another and youÆve the bonus of the DC
The mids are more expensive that the CNR due to the Federation omniÆs. Only have 2 at moment, but plan to run 3 and a TP. Will drop to 2 mission specific hardeners, because of the DC, and an improved shield booster
T2 launchers are impossible as CPU is way too tight with my current skills, so you may save a bit there, although IÆm already thinking of CN ones which makes the high slot fittings way more than the CNR. May come to ripping the Drone Scope Chip out to free the CPU if I do go for T2 (not played with it on EFT yet)
Having spent a lot of time in a CNR and quite a bit in the Rattler, I much prefer the Rattler. Being stationary with sentries is frustrating when you have gates 60k away and heavy close range cruiser missions like Buzz Kill are very annoying, but it feels a far more solid platform that allows me to fart about while playing and the performance is on a par with the CNR. You will want to pimp it as much as possible to get the most out of it, so tell me after a couple of months if you went for the cheaper option
