The point is using dual small high end boosters is needlessly expensive and offers no additional capability.
Ok, Capt. BigBooster let's run the numbers... Your setup in EFT tanks 533 DPS vs typical Guristas and 233 vs... anything else, and does 880 DPS at 28.3 km with CN Torps, or 647 DPS at 42.5 km with Javelins.
Now, My setup :
[Golem, Captain SmallBooster]
Ballistic Control System II

Pithi B-Type Small Shield Booster

Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron
Siege Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Juggernaut Torpedo

Siege Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Juggernaut Torpedo
Siege Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Juggernaut Torpedo
Salvager I
Small Tractor Beam I
Small Tractor Beam I
Hydraulic Bay Thrusters II
Rocket Fuel Cache Partition II
Tanks 633 DPS vs Guristas, and 534 minimum vs other factions. Does 880 DPS at 40.8 with CN Torps, or 647 DPS at 61.2 km with Javelin Torps. I don't have to fly around as much, refit as much, and even energy vamps wouldn't bother me much.
Conclusion : You sir, are an ass. (To quote Shakespeare)

In fact it detracts from that as you are nerfing your damage potential.
How is the same damage at better range nerfing damage potential?

BTW that's with my skills which are rather light on engineering and still need some work in most other areas. Don't even have +5 implants .
What do +5 implants have to do with anything? Did they start giving magical combat bonuses when I wasn't looking?

BTW, it can't possibly be 300dps less, it's YOUR setup for offensive capability plus 1 additional target painter. You do lose 15% of your range but that loss isn't really necessary.
It's actually a hell of a lot MORE dps less. Let's use Javelins. At 150m/s it takes you more than 133 seconds to travel 20km. While you're traveling that 20km to get into range, my setup is doing 647 dps to targets at that range. Assuming enough targets, 133x647. On an average mission over the course of the mission, you do about 62800 dps less flying around (make a spreadsheet covering a month's worth of missions if you don't believe me). You can also look at it as adding 10 minutes per mission or more.

That CCC isn't needed. It is for the whole cap stable thing but if you can't finish a lvl4 in under 20 minutes in a marauder then you are doing something wrong.
And if you get a lag spike or disconnect in the Angel Bonus room or similar and you aren't cap stable... bi bi expensive ship. :P Beyond that, your ship costs 600mil or more. Why gimp it to save a few mil on fittings? I find your lack of reason most disturbing.
