I've no doubt a conversion system could be created, such that the last two years of roleplaying would not be made meaningless.
For the power of the Custom Techs, I suspect it's a non-issue. Suppose you have a Custom Tech that is pretty much overpowered. Against NPCs, who gives a shit? Do what you like (within at least something-resembling-reason, of course). Against PCs, the power of Custom Techs is pretty much flavor in light of CL. You aren't judged on the power of your Custom Techs (just as you aren't judged on your PL). You're judged, instead, on your CL.
I still like this.
