I like more the idea of "shifting" the new EP system's cost table using the racial offsets.

So if raising to ST 12 costs a human 500 EP, that's what it costs to raise a Dwarf to ST 14, or an Elf to ST 10, or a halfling to ST 8. So if applied that way, a Hobbit COULD get to ST 14, but the rise from 13 to 14 would cost the same as a human's rise from 17 to 18 (under the current new system's EP table, 2000 EP).
I can see that as a sensible option. For me it doesn't work because I don't use EP which was why I decided on the cap. Thanks to all for your input.
