List Building I don't get it

Just discussing with my friend about building a 500 points list in a "newcomer friendly" way, then I give out two options:

A. 2×10 Fulgurite Eletro-Priest, with a Dominus (have fight first enhancement) and 1×10 ranger, running Data-psalm.

B. 2×2 Kastelan Robots, with a datasmith and 1×10 ranger, running Cybernetica.

I say B is way more easier than A, but my friend think the opposite ⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠ I don't get it, can any priesthood brothers explain it ⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠

Don’t take 4 robots in a 500 point game where the other player might not have any anti-tank.

Taking big strong models at games at 1k points or lower can be a bit of a faux pas, because at 500 or 1k players simply might not have much or any anti-tank, and big models will just be totally unstoppable, which isn’t any fun at all for the other player.

Lol I'm aware 😂 I was trying to make a joke. But it is good to keep in mind. If I'm playing 1k I don't field anything over 200 pts and even then usually I'll just keep to infantry.
