I'm looking for simple to implement house rules that increase the viability of Samurai, with minimal unintended consequences.

Historically, Wired Reflexes and the Adept Improved Reflexes had identical costs. Somewhere along the lines, that changed, lowering Adept Improved reflex costs relative to Wired Reflexes. Would anchoring Wired Reflexes to the new costs of Improved Reflexes make sense as a rule to enhance the viability of Samurai?

It would:

* Create Incentives for Wired Reflexes over Synaptic Accelerators
* Improve a historic staple of Samurai Core Builds
* Bring basic Samurai building blocks in line w/ their Awakened Counterparts
* Be easy to implement, and feel intuitive

EDIT: Hard numbers for this proposal are as follows: Move Wired Reflexes from a Cost of 2, 3, 5 to instead match Improved Reflex costs of 1.5, 2.5, 3.5
