Perhaps the best answer can be found in "do both".

Keep the primary description format as it is - in the preferred style the designer likes to work in and present information in - then, at the end, include a comprehensive and condensed "Stat Sheet" - as in the style JLV is suggesting - for a quick and easy reference; and allow the GM to by-passing the prose descriptions - as it serves expediency.

Remember, much of the life-blood which contributes to the unique vibe of The Fantasy Trip flows through the prose-style of the designer. I for one would not want to miss a drop of that.
