They can just sky-crane that bitch off the surface a few hundred feet and then start the biggun rockets to get it the rest of the way out of the atmosphere

Why use such a complex solution? Viking landers were of a comparable mass yet they landed in a traditional way, in 70's. I don't see why it can't be scaled up, NASA itself has been proposing the classic scheme for 30t+ Mars landers in 2014. Lavochkin/ESA landing platform also seems to be so much simpler than the skycrane.
