I've been using it on Level 3 missions. Working on raising my standings with Lai Dai, I want to be able to use some Level 4 Research Agents.
For mission running, this is how I'm outfitting the ship. Damage profile is Guristas.

It doesn't have the tank my Drake does (surprise, huh?) but it has better dps. I went with Beam Lasers instead of Pulse Lasers for range. And the web helps me deal with frigates.
All in all I'm pretty happy with it, even if it was a little spendy.
