If your going for competitive, I wouldn't take 2 LRs as they are massive point sinks. Grab another unit of Termis or Marines, or a Dready or 2. If your going for a balanced list, 2 Vindis wouldn't be the bet way to get your friends to like you.

I like this list a lot. It's got style (and that is something which marines have a distinct lack of mostly - except when they're space wolves. Can't wait for the new codex). The remark about the LR is true - perhaps just stick the tactical squads into razorbacks or rhinos.

I am pleased to see you don't have stern guard or van guard in this army (this deep striking and assaulting really is annoying me a lot. It stomps so many principles into the mud I can't even begin naming them all. And it makes it absolutely pointless to take dark reapers to a tourney because there is no doubt whatsoever as to what their fate in 80% of the games will be. A rather horrible, unspectacular and most definitely untimely end is what awaits them).

What I would do, however, I add a pumped up unit of assault marines into the army instead of one tactical squad, and then add a chapter master in terminator armor into the game (and equip the whole unit of terminators with lightning claws except one to make them dangerous to wraithlords)... There is nothing (at least nothing in a space marine army) that comes remotely close to the coolness of terminators with lightning claws (except, perhaps, assault cannons, but alas you cannot take a full squad equipped with them... but you just wait until the next codex... I'm sure it'll happen someday).

HUZZAH!
