Quick and simple question guys; for a Raven armed with lascannon, multim-melta and stormstrike's, is there much point in having hurricane bolters too?

Flyers can fire 4 weapons each shooting phase can't they?
Nice backup if you get loads of weapon destroyed too

As Stretch says, backup, but I'd say also for when you're out of armored targets. It's tricky. On the one hand a Stormblebee is pretty expensive as is, so it makes most sense to specialize it for one task and put the remaining points to good use elsewhere, and not risk getting it all shot up at once. On the other hand it is so expensive that you need to get as much use out of it as possible, which can be hard against hordish armies with that loadout. Therefore a backup weapon that deals with that kind of unit/army can be a good investment.
Plus if you fight (flying) monstrous creatures, bolters are strong enough to do damage and numerous enough to make it count, and since you can fire four weapons and you only have four missiles, there's a good chance you actually want to shoot those bolters over a missile.
I'd say buy them if you do not desperately need those extra points elsewhere. You can make do without the hurricanes easily enough, but having them isn't a bad thing.
