well, i think this is another nice variant of the vengeance CG chassis (i like some vaiation to the existing ships

), and i think the updated version is okay.
taking lances instead of WB's might make some sense against necrons, orks (when closing), and marines...
but really, as this is a support vessel not intended for closing in on the enemy, but rather staying back and keeping abeam, i would probably prefer the exorcist in most cases, as its WB's have a good chance of getting a lot more dice than the goliath's lances since the enemy has to close in to the ship while it itself presents its broadside to the enemy....
thinking of it, with the appropriate ships to support (tyrant w/ range upgrade, anyone?) the goliath would have a good use though in a lot of fleets IMO.
standing alone (fleet-wise), the exorcist would be better because it can take cae of itself to some extent.
