ECL vs lower starting points

I allow players in my game to use either the 4d6 methodolgy or a point buy system to generate stats, their choice.

I have seen some folks suggest that they will allow a player to take a +1ECL (or higher I suppose) race as a +0 race but they have fewer points to generate ability scores.

Example: Normally PCs would have 25 points to use for ability scores but if I player wanted to create a Teifling character as a +0 race, they would only have 17 points.

Does anyone have any experience with this approach? Does it really off set or pan out over time? Any good past discussions on the subject you all could point me to?
