Works for me-- and considering Joe's lack of time, I'd say we should go ahead
and use the 2nd one instead...

As if to drive the point home, I was just following through something I had been
curious about in the past. I was noticing today that a 1d6+3 was doing better
against a 1d6 than a 2d6 was. And (even odder) better than a 2d6+1 was!
Anyway, to state the quasi-obvious, it's statistically to your advantage to
convert your roll into solid numbers *IF* you're already statistically ahead.
And further, it's statistically to your advantage to convert your rolls into
dice if you're statistically behind.
So I suppose if we err on the side of converting to dice rolls it'll devalue the
massively powerful stuff and enhance the little piddley things. Probably a Good
Thing(tm).
