BeCKS..., is it worth a switch? Options

[ElFenrir]

I know BeCKS has been around for awhile, but I never much bothered with it. However, I finally sat down and played around with it...I found I'm loving BeCKS v2. It seems balanced, streamlined, and while it seems it can take awhile, I am really liking where it's going.

I converted a few character, and found they converted just fine...it didn't favor magical/non magical, or human/metahuman, or anything. It has the resource advantage over the priority system(where you are stuck with the million, 400 grand, or 90 grand, no inbetween), and it doesn't have the huge favor of 'mundane human' over magicians/and or metahumans the point based system seems to have., and it nips the 'contacts bought with nuyen' in the bud, as well as has more flexibility for spell points., of course at a trade off with everything else.(more SP-less of something else.)

Is there anything i need to look out for, though, to the folks who have played with it? I have used the search and couldn't find any of the old BeCKS threads I thought i saw before.

One thing I like is that when I was converting the characters, I found myself dropping a few skills a couple points, and opting for the more balanced spread...I like that, it seems to discourage what i like to calll 'PHD syndrome', where chracters who take the high skill priorities/points have a ton of 6's, and it encourages a more balanced approach. (i can believe 6 or 7 rating 4 skills more than i can believe even 4 rating 6 skills, personally.)

It seems really balanced on the getgo, and in the chars I created/converted(I used the standard 425 karma, which seems to be a good starting karma, like when it converted the archetypes), and since there is no change how chars develop(they still use karma), is there anything really unbalanced about it in the long run? Figure i'd ask some folks who have played with it before I go and make a huge switch.
