(...) Well, remember that "age range" is kind of misleading. Rather than chronological age, the important one is level of development - physical, mental, and even emotional.

Yeah, I think you've misunderstood just a bit. I personally think it's a great idea. Why? Well, to be honest I wouldn't use it myself, but I don't think it'll replace the new sets.
