Isn't 10 points more expensive than increasing your TL by 1, though? Admitting that I've never GMed, that seems odd to me for situations where somebody in a TL8 environment also wants to be able to have multiple TL7 skills, in addition to TL8 versions. "I can also use things from 1 TL lower without penalty" seems less valuable than "I get to learn my skills and buy my equipment at 1 TL higher than everyone else." (Or at least, it's less valuable in a campaign without a lot of time travel or parachronic travel. If
this kind of situation (Star Trek) happens frequently, the advantage would be a better buy.)
Or is the point of 10 points (instead of 5) that you effectively have two separate TLs at the same time, instead of being limited to just one?
