In general, I am a huge fan of the new MB system. I lets me choose benefits that I want and eschew benefits that have little to no value to me. It also lets others make completely different decisions that suit them better than they would me.

Unless AC/AP increase the number of SE eUp nominees from 1 to 2, I still resent the automatic granting of eUps rather than alternative, optional MBs that have more value to my family than eUps.

200 expiring eUps with no alternative value feels a bit yucky, especially as so many others find them to be so valuable.
That said though, with the new lower number of eUps you'll be getting, will you still have the same flexibility to do the family eupgrading?
