I would allow on first generation inner sphere omnis.

The Strider and Owens would not be OP given their major drawbacks.

I tend to think of things from a heavy mech perspective so I will concede that an inner sphere mech in MWO can run as small of an engine as they wish for the sake of running LRM100's or A/C40's. Although a clan mech has less tonnage available for weaponry they need less as their weapons are lighter, smaller and more powerful

On the other hand the baby engines in clan light mechs are quite the hindrance

Ok, in terms of heavies then, here's a pretty useful Cataphract 3D setup:

If clan mechs really need "less tonnage for their weapons" as you say, lets see your Summoner setup with those weapons. After all the mechs weigh the same, should be able to equal that.....

I suppose a discussion involving Clan vs Inner Sphere can take place without the respective mechs of either side ever being a point of discussion in your mind

Absolutely, this was about putting Clan weapons and equipment on IS mechs remember ?

...and on that subject :

How bout an Upgrade system similar to Ferro, Endo, DHS and Artemis.

Call it Clan Retrofit to enable exclusive use of Clan tech, and IS Retrofit to enable exclusive use of IS tech.

Make it cost 5,000,000 c-bills to switch between them each time.

Let's see. 64kph. 30 point alpha. Ammo dependent. Non-hitscan. Can be killed across all three torsos.

I sure do wish I could build a summoner like that.
