I'd be fine with -40. There's not a lot of room for disad values between 'no manipulators' and 'no fine manipulators'.

Alternately, we can make the points work out cleanly for most existing templates by saying 'no arms' is -40, and that 'horizontal' is incompatible with no fine manipulators (which seems fair, it's not terribly limiting that you can't do anything with your hands when you don't have hands to start with). This means existing quadrupeds replace 'no fine manipulators + horizontal' with 'no arms' for the same -40 cost.
