True, but then you get all the drawbacks of having an Advantage Affliction instead of the actual Advantage.

Personally, I'd be tempted to say that AA is a "meta-limitation" worth -80%, and thus if you want to make them all instantaneously switchable, that's a +20% "meta-enhancement", which means that you pay 2/5 the cost instead of 1/5. I think that's fair.
