Redline sniping is a terrible, terrible mechanic that fails to maintain any semblance of risk/reward balance.
I specced into sniping just for the Thale's, and unfortunately it was entirely worth it. I feel bad after using it sometimes.
I have only lost two, one to another Thale's and another to complete stupidity. The one I'm on now has well over a hundred kills and I can count the shots I've taken back on one hand.

Someone in my corp used to ALWAYS snipe. Today he broke out the Thale's again, and said, "I'm gonna be THAT guy..." :D Another story that no one cares about :D
The Thale's is just the most god-like weapon I've used in this game. Screw the Balac's, even my favourite Imperial Scrambler Rifle doesn't come close.
I mean, you can OHKO almost anything if you aim correctly. I've only had a couple of heavies survive more than one shot and none have survived two.
And thanks to that amazing scope you can do it from deeeeeep in the redline. I have actually single-handedly held multiple objectives from the redline because for some moronic reason I can actually see the hack points for them. There is nothing that anyone can do to stop a sniper with a direct line of sight on the objective when he's in the redline except countersnipe, which is remarkably difficult because finding snipers is actually hard to do.

I have the skills for 3 or 4 of them, just haven't felt like they would significantly improve my chances, compared to their value on the market - whenever that materializes. exactly! is it really worth it when you'll be able to farm millions off of them later?
Well...
Yes.
