Vector engine possibly a little too good?

While it is somewhat overpowered compared to the other engines, this gets into the realm of real-life engines. The size is slightly smaller than the F1 bell nozzles on the Saturn IV-C, which are 3.7m and 6700 kilonewtons at sea level.

I say the Vector fills a nice niche. When the Mammoth is not powerful enough to lift your payload, stick eight Vectors under your first stage tank. And off you go. Stick 30 of them there and you'll have a replica of the Saturn V first stage.

The impact tolerance makes it easy to recover.
