But did you have all the customization options for those characters already? I submit not!

And the Mantis X is good for higher level engagements in that it carries way way WAAAAAAAAY more ammo, so in higher difficulties where going for more ammo can be dangerous (such as when defending areas as a Soldier or Engineer), you're going ot have definite advantages with the Mantis. Especially because, again, it weighs a third as much.

Probably not, but my Soldier, Vanguard, Infiltrator and Adept do have them. I'll try to see if it makes a difference. 

Well, I took care of the ammo issue with the Spare Shot mod, I can carry 19 rounds, so it's pretty much up there with my Mantis X. The only real advantage of the Mantis is the weight and even then my Human Infiltrator can handle itself pretty well with just +11% recharge time. I agree that with a Soldier or Engineer class, it would be much trickier to defend an area with the Widow, but that's why I usually go with the Avenger X, the Shuriken X and the Carnifex II. My Turian Soldier can handle those and still be at +105% recharge time, so I can handle territory and crow control nicely (Marksman is just a beast).

Try rolling a Salarian Infiltrator - with the viability of both Shield Drain and Tactical Cloak, you come to appreciate recharge a lot more. Now granted I'd still take a Widow of equal level over a Mantis any day, but Infiltrators (that aren't human) can make damn good use of their powers in this game.
