Yes, rank 5 Snipers don't even come close to Assassinaters.

A Rank 5 Sniper requires 80K SP, and is comparable to a Rank 1 Marksman (60 Nano).

A Rank 3 Marksman requires over 13K SP, and is comparable to a Rank 1 Assassinater.

The drawback to the Assassinater is that you have to be level 38+ equivalent before you get your first one. Reach level 35, then get enough XP to "Max Level" (which is another ~90K), then accrue enough stars to buy the Academy and the Assassinater (240K XP).
