Sure, it plays faster than traditional d20, but it still suffers from many of the D&Disms that probably gave you a headache from your 3.0 experiences such as ability score damage and piles upon piles of fiddly feats. There is a huge variety of powers, but it makes character gen a chore and its very easy to build a broken character if you aren't careful. Yes, you can find some good spreadsheets out there, but if you need a spreadsheet to prepare the game, it may not fit your definition of rules-lite. In my experience, I didn't find it as easy to run as i'd hoped. It almost felt like I was running a high level D&D game where everyone was a spellcaster. Granted, it could have been the pre-canned adventure i was running (lots of tough supervillains, not enough low-level mooks to thrash on) but I gradually stopped looking forward to game night as that familiar "D20 fatigue" began to claim me. I suggested we try a grittier, PL 6 "mystery men" type of game, but by then my players were soured on supers and ready to move on. I own a copy of Necessary Evil, but I haven't tried it. Most people claim it doesn't do high-powered supers well. I am hearing good things about BASH! Ultimate Edition.</blockquote>
