Converting GURPS characters to TFT

How differently do people feel about this now that the Legacy Edition has been out and we've all had a chance to assimilate it? My general feeling is that it is much easier than we were imagining to do the conversion both because the number of talents you know is divorced from your IQ score, and because stat scores outside of the typical GURPS range are now also pretty much out of reach in TFT. Also, if you have the companion you can introduce flaws that are functionally like the disadvantage system inn GURPS. I think a 1:1 conversion is probably in reach for lots of things. One issue you'd run into is that TFT characters suffer from the burden of heavy armor more than GURPS characters do, so you might find yourself thinking your converted characters need another couple points of DX to function as they did in GURPS.
