You could see it that way.  Put another:  Anything's better than what they
had ;)

I've been a fan of DL from the first edition of the main manual, and the
rules are the very thing that I eventually got disgusted with and quit over.
The D20 system's a welcome change, no matter what.

What is it exactly about the new system that's going to give you so much
trouble?  I could see converting characters as a problem, but that can be
made less painfull if the Posse and Marshal are comfortable with the new
rules, and honest about the new equivalencies.
