I think I would allow the changing in combat order for free. I don't like the idea of a high speed being worse than a lower speed.
To be fair, the "worse" is entirely situational. The thing is, for *seven combats in a row*, I would rather have acted slower, behind the Cleric and Wizard, rather than up front with the Swashbuckler and the Scout.

Part of this has been that the combats have been flatly mook-tastic, with non-threatening enemies who are slow. Even then, I've found that any enemy who MIGHT act either before me, or after the Wizard? I'm better off ensuring that he acts after me and BEFORE the Wizard, so that the order runs Wiz/Me/Enemy. And it's worth giving him a round to make that happen, if he wants it.
