Your second point leads me to my point about keeping the Custom Tech system we have now. If Yakon, for example, were a character in this system. Let's say he used Prestige to buy a technique that "defined his character" called Super Mega Awesome Ki Absorption. Of course, that doesn't raise his CL much because it's only one technique, but because custom tech costs aren't standardized, it's mega expensive because it's mega powerful.
He fights Goku, who has taken time to buy more PL, which is standardized, which would raise Goku's CL. Goku has a higher CL overall because he's spent it on smaller, less expensive things, while Yakon only has one technique and a low CL, because he didn't have much Prestige to spend on PL. Yakon could then give Goku a really hard time because his Custom Tech is super powerful, but Goku would still end up winning because his CL is higher. This is assuming the quality of their writing is equal.
Except you can't increase your power level using absorbtion, you can only recover your ki or use the absorbed ki to fuel an attack. Also how much you absorb and how fast you absorb it depends on your focus which is determined by your power level.
Essentially with your 500 PL with your super duper Ki absorption would be insignificant against someone who's got a 2500 pl and is running circles around you while you try to aim your technique and suck in their energy.
And he hits you so hard that it breaks bones.
