Are there any rules that limit how much you can augment a stat other that the augmented stat maximums:

consider the following:

Mr: Slowpoke (Reaction 2) hops down to a clinic and gets reaction enhancers (4) and synaptic accelerators (3), giving him 7 additional points in reaction. This brings his reaction up to the augmented maximum of 9.

It seems a bit odd that he is now as fast as Mr. Lightning Reflexes (Reaction 6) who got the exact same set of ware.

Does a house rule of: "augmented stat maximum is the current stat +3" sound more reasonable? This means that natural ability always plays a part in how augmented you can be. Admittedly, this makes combining reaction enhancers and initative enhancers pretty useless, and makes the lvl 4 reaction enhancers, muscle toner, etc useless...

On the plus side, it more quickly caps out the str and bod of trolls, and the agl and cha of elves.
