The only reason to take a Baal over a Sicaran is to take the Flamestorm and Heavy Flamers for city fight or against MEQ armies with alot of 3+ Saves. Now consider it has 2 more shots than an assault cannon, at one point higher strength AT DOUBLE THE RANGE!!! Whaaaat? NO jink saves is death to bike or skimmer heavy armies (Eldar, DE, White Scars, DA) and add to that rending. So now we have accepted that the upgrades are already worth more, BUT IT DOES NOT STOP THERE. THAT ALONE would be a value of 20 points. SO lets say a hull mounted HB costs 10 points since it can't swivel like a pintle. BUT add to that Extra Armour Standard (a 10 point upgrade for regular tanks) and an extra Heavy Bolter (for comparison it costs only 15 pts to pintle mount a Heavy Bolter on an SM Superheavy). For only 20 points over the Baal it has 2 more points of armour on the sides and 3 on the rear. SOOOOOOO I hope you can see just how Superior the Sicaran is. To make it comprable to a basic Sicaran and Baal though, I will just say fast with a TL Lascannon, putting it at 110, 130 is you add HB to try and equal the volume of firepower of the other two. SO if we make this a fast vehicle like the other two and give it all lascannons it is 150 pts. Same sponson options as Sicaran at the same cost. Autocannon main gun or TL Lascannon for +25. Same stats as Baal, except +10pts for fast.
