Default 1850 list - First army list with the new codex!

So I lost my last tau codex to a sticky fingered n00b at a tournament about a year or so ago, and as such I've had my Tau shelved for a while. Now with a recent revival into large scale Suit conversions I've undertaken, I find myself wanting to play my tau a bit more, and have poured over the codex to learn the changes my army has undergone.

I'd first like to start with my available options this way if you do have a suggestion you can go through what models I have (as I will likely not be buying anything for a bit) and make some suggestions!

What I own:
Troops:
3 X firewarrior squads.
maybe 8 or so Kroot -_o
HQ:
9 Crisis suits (2 in the process of conversion)
Ethereal
Elite:
Same suits as above
5 Stealth Suits, oldschool metal ones. 1 with fusion blaster
Fast:
I have *some* pathfinders, maybe 2 with rail rifles, and four extra Firewarriors I was converting...so that would give me around 6ish Pathfinders.
I could likely piece together 12+ Gun drones
Heavy:
2 Broadsides, one with Plasma one with SMS
Hammerhead
Skyray
Transports: I have 4 Devilfish


So with that listed off now I'll propose the List I made first. one note I'll make is that I'm trying to field a "fluffy"-ish urban army, somewhat close ranged, designed for a cities of death type enviroment. (radically different than all other Tau at my LGS)

HQ:
Shas'el : Flamer, Burst cannon, Vectored Thrusters, Failsafe, Iridum armor, bonding knife, HW MT, Stim injector.

Shas'o : CIB, Plasma rifle, Drone controller with 2 shield drones, HW MT, HW TL, TA, bonding.
-Bodyguard: 2 suits, Fusion blaster, Missile Pod, TA, HWMT, HWTL

Elite:
XV-8 Team: Shas'vre, bonding, fusion blaster, Missile pod, MT, Team leader has TA, HWMT

Stealth Team (4 man unit) Shas'vre, bonding, HW drone with marker drones, Marker light, HWTL, and Fusion blaster.

Troops:
Fire warrior teams (12 models): Shas'ui, bonding, HW TL on leader, Marker light

(3 units of these)

-Devilfish transport: SMS, TA, MT, TL, D-Pod, Decoy Launchers, and 2 seeker missiles.

(3 of these for the FW squads)

Heavy support
Skyray Missle defense platform: Burst cannons, TA, MT, D-pod

Broadside (Stalker pattern as I call him): Shas'vre. twin plasma, bonding, advanced stab system, HW drone with 2X sheild drones, HW MT.

Thoughts?!
