There's something nice about going back to the Rogue Trader rules - or even just the 2nd edition (on it's own) because the games are fairly balanced and complete without the escalation of the codexes. Rogue Trader is a lovely book just to read. Naturally it might be down to which models you like, because there are many specialist weapons and army lists that vanish for good (I'm thinking of some really weird Ork stuff). My only foray into 40K was collecting chaos in 2nd ed, but specialising in swarms of disposable human cultists - made up of modified necromunda figures, at least that was the plan, and Demon World armies with beastmen (which could double-up as WHQ extras!) but they got ushered out on the next edition, but hey I'll get over it ...
The question is with Rogue Trader, Zoats might be interesting, but how do you really feel about giant primates with digital finger weapons?
Damnit, I should just give in and buy the new RPG or Dark Heresy ...
Crikey, I'm surprised I even have an opinion on this.
Edit: just re-read your post - go for third edition! :)
