I generally think of 'pay x10 to have it all' from many places in GURPS (for instance, being able to switch enhancements is x10 the cost, being better at effectively all skills is x10 the cost of a skill, etc). I don't know how much the slot should cost, but 10pts per point you can switch around to anything whatsoever seems fair, even if I don't use that low of cost.

Physical Only being more expensive than "Mental + Skills" does seem odd. I honestly assume its +0% until I go look it up. Honestly, it might even be worse, mental abilities are generally better in most circumstances (even combat if Malediction changes attacks to mental).
