The problem with ST is that high ST is much more useful for smaller characters than larger characters because of tactical utility. An ST 50 SM+4 creature is going to have less tactical utility than an ST 50 SM+0 creature. The former is incapable of entering most buildings without destroying them from the outside while the latter is capable of infiltrating the same building and punching people through the walls.
