Personally I think the 4E approaches dovetails nicely with it.
BoIM - Blinding Strike comes with penalties to success
4E - But Once a Day or so Random the Rogue can pull it off without any penalties whatsoever.
As long as you make certain BoIM is balanced against the basic math of the system it should be a perfectly all right combination.
It makes more sense to me that a difficult maneuver like Blinding Strike would be more difficult to do--meaning that there are penalties to hit--than it does that a rogue would only be able to try the maneuver once a day.
