   I think the balance problem that Robert
is addressing in that some people think that 
DX and IQ are more powerful than ST.

   I do use a system to make memory stretch 
further.  Mainly because of all the crunchy
bits (Robin Law's term) that I've added to
TFT.

   I don't think you should be discouraged 
Robert.  I won't use your system (our group
has a home brewed system we are happy with).
But there is no reason that, with some work,
you should not get some rules that are 
playable.

   Warm regards, Rick
