I suppose it depends on your paths and what you're doing with the Phoenix, and when you're doing it.
My Phoenix was A4F4, Dom 5 so no extra awe, CBM so built-in Phoenix Pyre, and using the Phoenix as a solo immortal suicide bomber to clear indies, before researching mistform. It's got so many death crosses in the HoF that I'd go blind trying to count them.
So, it worked pretty well for a bit, but I was planning on retiring the Phoenix from its bomber career in the midgame and using it for some specific battlefield buffs. At A3F3, those plans were pretty much shot.
