imo, the ulti turret is mostly there for teamfights/pushes. It only lasts a couple seconds, so the damage needs to be higher. It'll allow Heimer to deal damage on the field while not completely being in harms way. If he sets the turret up and gtf out of there, the turret will bring significant damage in the fight.

On the other hand, RW is ultra long ranged super high damage. Heimer can deal massive damage from within his safe haven, while having a pretty strong disengage for his team with the turrets.

Best part about the turrets is that the sacrifice isn't as large for them when they die as what they were back then. If your turrets died back then, you lost alot of damage. Now, Heimer has a more reliable W and E now.
