Make room for the Cackler?

Most people tell me to put Rakdos Cackler s into my R/B deck, deck:cirque-de-hell. I've always thought they weren't as good as people make them out to be, but everyone loves them. Could somebody take a look at the decklist's creature count and tell me if the Cacklers would benefit me here, and what should be switched out? I thought about replacing the 3x Rakdos Shred-Freak s with 3x Rakdos Cackler s but I really do like dropping Vexing Devil on Turn1 and then playing the Shred-Freak on Turn2 for six damage, whether or not the Devil is destroyed for four life. Constructive criticism, please!
Rakdos Cackler is great, but it not an either get a Vexing Devil or a Rakdos Cackler .
I would play 4 Rakdos Cackler , 4 Rakdos Shred-Freak and 4 Vexing Devil .
Swinging for 4 on turn two is awesome, and lets you play later draw devils more tactically, make your opponent decide if they can deal with the devil or deal with the loss of 4 life.

A rakdos, hellsteed, and the chandra would be good places to cut for cackers. The deck is aggro and all those spells are making the deck top heavy, also rakdos in this type of deck should probably just be seen as an epic 4 mana 6/6 flying trample beatstick with a paragraph of text on the bottom that will rarely matter.
