Gee, and how many Slashers, and Strikers have you run Mike?   8)
I know speed can be very important for certain styles because I ran them!  Now,
I regret using some of those rollups the way I did.  Live and learn.  I think
the 17 SPD guy would get the jump on the 17 DFT guy.  It would be interesting
to figure out who actually ends up with the better defense and parry...

Of course, if you look at the long term, through stat raises the 17 DFT will
gain more skills than the 17 SPD (comparing raising SPD to 25 to DFT to 25).  I
could live with them both.
