now to go back to topic: to many choices are bad
I can't possibly imagine how you actually believe this to be a true statement.

if you have the choice to put your money in 300 different banks so you will check all of them ?
You're making it out as if you would NEED to put it in all 300.
I would put it a different way - that I enjoy the choice of 300 different banks to put my money in so I can find the specific one(s) that fit what I like. And if I want to try others I have many different options to go with rather that just a few.
I'll make another analogy. I am from the US. I do not fully identify with either the Republican or Democrat party in this country. I wish there were many other (viable) options to choose from in an election. I think it sucks that there are only 2 "real" options, neither of which fit me.
Would it be better if you could only choose from black or white for a color for your car?

like i said on other post
one or few options = bad
several number of option = good
many options = choose paralysis => bad
i got a funny quote for the car thing hehe
Henry Ford said this about cars "the customer can have any color he wants so long ss it's black"
I love that Henry Ford quote, but of course that was a much different time.
I guess I don't buy into the choice paralysis theory. Choice paralysis implies the chooser feels the need to obtain all of or a large portion of the options available. This isn't a failure on the part of the one offering the choices, it's a failure of the chooser to be satisfied with a few of the available options.
The point I will definitely agree on is that there will end up being a small subset of configurations that people use in PvP or even PvE as they will be considered the "best".
For some of us (myself included) I will try to make some of the less "popular" configs along with the more effective ones simply to just do it and try them out for fun.

Another advantage I can see to all the combinations is how unpredictable it will be.
If you're going against a fleet and you see a Falcon. You KNOW how it's fit. There's no question on it.
Now you go against that shiny new T3 cruiser, and you have no idea what to expect from it.
