I think the other "advantage" to organics weapons is that you get several different kinds of weapons quickly; low damage reload 1's; higher damage reload 2's; and seekers that do more dmg/kt/turn than CSMs--all for 1 tech area which is cheaper than, say, PPB+torps+missiles. Which only would be an advantage in very early game, due to the power of PDC. Now, give EDs 2x to shields, and they might be a little more appealing.
