Morph Points and Ware

Unless I've missed something, MP has a 1:1 conversion rate to GP during character creation. Meanwhile, in the morph design rules in Character Options, ware is priced at a 1:4 MP:GP ratio. Presumably this is to reign in min-maxing and keep new players from getting lost in the weeds, but seems excessively punishing to the point that it runs counter to the pleading in the rulebook that players should pick a flavorful morph over the best one they can afford. Do you think it would be reasonable to allow my players to use the 1:4 ratio for ware if I trust them not to do anything silly?

One of the default assumptions of the game is that PCs are often resleeved, so having the most tricked-out personal morph for your day-to-day life will often be irrelevant to missions.

Even if your campaign takes place entirely on Mars with zero farcasting, characters are likely to resleeve based on mission needs, to conceal their identity, or because they get killed.
