For Leviathan I felt the 9.2.1 stats were about right, but didn't feel the wings option was neccesary, as individual unit options are usually left out at epic scale, and the warriors don't have the same option.
It has historically been included so as to have an appropriate and (relatively) inexpensive Synapse Creature available for all kinds of swarms. The Tyrant was the only AV synapse creature, so it needed fast/slow options to work well with different kinds of swarms, e.g. slow for a Fex swarm garrison, fast for a biotank swarm. Without the option, there was either a serious hindrance to formation speed or SC vulnerability, resulting in iconic Nid units not appearing in army lists.
Whether that's still necessary or desired is possibly debatable. However, if it is, I would suggest 2 separate stat lines so they can be more fine-tuned than the "-1 armor/high move" formula.
