Well, I recon I've probably playtested the formation more than most, and it's my considered opinion that they're worth considerably less than 300pts, 275pts wouldn't make a great difference so I recommend testing at 250pts.
I am not disputing the playtests as I am sure you have a good handle on how these are used. What my concern is, that dropping the cost past 275 points really interferes with other units (both present and those being developed). With the array and abilities available to Defilers, dropping their points will raise questions of the effectiveness of other units which may call for price changes as well, thereby effecting needless change across various lists.
The other question that can be raised (which is combative - so apologies straight from the start) is the quality of the opposing general in your use of them. Are your opponents good and nail this threat before they are really effective? If this is the case then they are doing their job for the cost.
Making a unit that has 3 shots, a MW CC attack, 20cm move with
Fearless, Invulnerable Save, Walker and Infiltrator, 250 points for 4 is a mistake in my opinion. I am just talking from a point of balance, that's all. If they were cheaper, I would definitely take more of them at the chagrin of my opponents ÂÂ
