I like Hucksters, at least the concept of them as a character archetype that
can be played in a western horror game. The mechanics that Deadlands uses,
while it fits the theme of the game very well, takes too long as you say
yourself. The PEG guys tried to improve things with the H&H book and then
Revised edition, but a player still has to roll dice, draw cards, figure out
the result (by checking a table) for every hex. In the end, players just get
tired of it. 
 

So, essentially, I am agreeing with you. :)
