Woah now! Before you tell me to get 4 Magnums and 4 Tarans: I have all that crap.
Both Rhino and Fujin are regulars in my hangar; usually a DB Rhino and a Taran Fujin. I'm gonna get a second one, eventually, which should I have in duplicate?
My pros and cons:
Fujin: I'm looking forward to the Tulumbas mechanic update, which I think will breathe life into the midrange Fujin. I could run a FORK in addition to the plasma; the more Ancile shields the better! *sigh* Hydras... *sigh*
Rhino: Speed and durability are always pluses, and let's be honest, Fujin and Rhino maneuverability is about equal. I could run a plasma Rhino, but then again I could just run 2 plasma Galahads (which I have).
Thoughts?

WSP bots are the kind of bots that come into style depending on the season, go out of style, then come back in vogue for a bit again. I would say get 6 each of Magnums and Tarans. It allows you to run a spider bot (3 Tarans), Galahad (1 Taran, 2 Magnums), and Rhino (2 Tarans, 2 Magnums) so total is 6 Tarans and 4 Magnums. Or you could run 2 plasma Fujins (6 Tarans). If you like Leos, then you're gonna need lots more Magnums or pew pew shooters. You can run 2 plasma Leos (6 Magnums). Or run 1 Leo, 1 Galahad, and a Gareth? Using something like a Leo or Fujin really crimps your playin' style, so buy more so that you can play your hanger and don't let your hanger play you instead.
Do you have a Carnage or Stalker? I'd buy one of each first before buying dups.

I have every bot except for Stalker, Doc, and Butch. Don't much care for Stalkers in as much as I'm familiar with them. I have 4 Gareths because I kept winning them during the Christmas event, so I have no shortage of light bots should the occasion call for it.
Currently, I can run 2 Plasmahads + my Plasma Fujin if I feel so inclined. I have 2 Leos, one with Gekkos + Zeus or Nashorn, one (that I'm leveling) with Thunder/Punishers.

The mechanics update would also make for one KILLER Rhino when outfitted with Pinatas and Orkans. Even pins!
You seem to have played plenty enough to know what kind of play style you prefer but my personal story goes like this.
Fujin, Rhino, Carnage, Carnage, Rhino......the Fujin sits the most and I ALWAYS have one Rhino and one Carnage in play.
For me, a Fujin is relatively boring to play. More slow and defensive playing rather then fast and aggressive.

VivaLaResistance I'm pretty new to the Carnage, as I just got one - at long last - a few days ago. It's still leveling, but at current it's only known Zeuses. My experience thus far has been the Carnage as sort of a subdued hunter - throwing spears from just out of reach, then disappearing into the brush. That typifying my version of "relatively boring", granted, I haven't yet equipped thunders for the in-your-face experience. I don't yet have thunders leveled (my current benchmark is lv9), but have to admit that they've never really appealed to me much. I know everyone loves them (and fields them endlessly ?) but I haven't gotten there yet. We'll see... In fairness, it took me a long time to love the Rhino. Now, my DB Rhino is almost a constant in my hangar, and I'm finally getting good with it. I've run the plasma version a few times and I enjoyed it, though I found that I died quickly. I know that the learning curve will take some perseverance because it's a Rhino, but with my current armaments I'd have to give up the Plasmahad and the DB Rhino to run the PDB, and that's a tough pill to swallow. On the other hand, I've really fallen in love with the Fujin. My feelings with it are something like being a captain of a sinking ship: "I love you, and I'm sticking with you. But we're going down..." The Fujin's bloated footprint, movement glitches, and low health are bad enough as is, and yet on the horizon are the long shadows of an unmitigated eclipse... the Dash bots. The real fun in the Fujin is the awesome firepower. Seeing an Orkan Ancilot come at you is the best feeling, because you get to put the *hand-and-a-half sword* in it's place! Usually, I play support to other teammates so that the enemy engages them first, then I move into range and "deal with the problem", lol. However, in some unknown quantity of time EVERYONE will be running 3 Tarans... What can men do against such reckless hate? Lol In typing all that out, it certainly seems like getting another Fujin would be imprudent. But then again, what's a Rhino gonna do against a Dash bot?

Yea, I mean if you like the way a Fujin plays then go for it!
I know that they are beasts and I recently ran an Orkan Fujin for a period of time once I got that 3rd Orkan.
I liked the Orkan Fujin much more than a plasma.
