I say just blanket amount; something significant enough that an Atlas would appreciate it, and the Spider 5V would LOVE...if he didn't skip Leg Day.
Wouldn't make much of a difference at the top, but the PUG LIFE would appreciate the option. If something small is taking an STD, sacrifices were made to firepower.
Without quirks, of course...those tend to complicate things.
Anyhow, things that make the STD VS XL a side grade, more than an upgrade (especially for the Clam faction). The STD VS isXL is a notable downside, but with the cXL that exists (and cannot swap to isXL characteristics), it did bring a significant power creep in that particular section, which still remains.
Normalization and buffing both increases TTK (removing instagibbing, buffing Lights+Meds significantly) without increasing the power level significantly. You might see more isXL mechs, but do they carry more firepower than their current Clam XL counterparts?
Not likely.
That's my thought process.
