Default 750 points: Need advice

Alright, I have well over 750 points, but I've never actually played at this point level and will need to do so for our upcoming battlemap campaign (just me and my fellows int he area) several times. As a result, I come to you all with a request for advice. My normal list is substantially larger and inludes a variety of Inquisitional nutjobs (Arco-flagellants, Penitent Engines, Zealots, etc.) and 500 point list is strictly Sisters.

Now I need 750 points, but it leaves me in a tight spot and I'm not sure how to construct the list. So, this is what I pretty mjuch have down:

750 point force:

HQ:
Canoness: [136]
1 Canoness []
Weapons []: Blessed Weapon (), Cloak of St. Aspira (), Jump Pack (), Inferno Pistol (), Frag Grenades (), and Book of St. Lucius ().

Troops:
Battle Sisters Squad I: [229]
14 Battle Sisters
1 Veteran Sister Superior with Eviscerator, Bolt Pistol, and Book of St. Lucius, Auspex.
Weapons: Flamer, Heavy Flamer

Battle Sisters Squad II: [174]
9 Battle Sisters
1 Veteran Sister Superior with Eviscerator, Bolt Pistol and Book of St. Lucius.
Weapons: x2 Melta Gun

Heavy Support: [150]
Exorcist:
Exorcist with Extra Armor and Storm Bolter

689 pts. of 750
------------------------------------------
So, I'm left with 61 points to toy around with and I'm not sure how to make them most effective. I've considered placing the Melta Gun-equipped Sisters in a Rhino, or adding more Sisters to the Melta team to bump their numbers. I've thought about some other crazy stuff like adding a Palatine or second Canoness to provide more faith, but I'm not really sure at this point.

Any suggestions are welcome. This is a general-purpose list, so anything goes for suggestions.

Total costs for a unit or model is totally fine; but posting the cost of individual gear is not.

Thanks!

I am not so sure about the Melta weaponry. Do you plan to be taking out vehicles? I would rather take the 3 warm bodies that you are tradeing for that melta weapons at this level.

The exorcist looks fine, it is always good to have the storm bolter so your main weapon is not the first one lost

Really, all I think you need is more battle sisters. In my experiences melta weaponry has been helpful in taking out models, but once you are in CC the meltaguns are mostly pointless. I rarely take flamers as well. Not much is better than the massed bolters with a bit of divine guideince IMO

A Heavy Flamer and a regular flamer in a rhino can put the smackdown on weak/small squads of troops. Admittedly it is difficult to use...

I'm pretty sure that the enemy gets to choose which weapon that gets destroyed so taking the storm bolter would not save your missle launcher. :-\

Ah, so it does. That's slightly depressing. Ah well, I suppose that it would serve more function on a taxi than the exorcist.

I just recentally started using vehicles, so you have to excuse when I am wrong
