Again up to individual players but makes for much more exciting games !! Lol
Cyberlinks are the best targeting systems one can buy. That's why they're so expensive. They shouldn't be that common.
An extra +1 when you're probably already on the favorable side of 7 on the bell curve should be expensive.
As to adding an exception for combining it with a smart link? I wouldn't allow it in my games. A +3 combined with even the skills a basic character has all dumped into gunner yields a +5 to hit. That's a lot by any measure. And giving the bonus to weapons at multiple locations? A bit too much for me. Keep it expensive (I would probably allow a second cyberlink fto be used or those who had to have the additional bonus for a smart linked weapon though).
