What I'm suggesting is allowing for highly reduced cost disadvantages (any disadvantages, not just mental) where you have a disadvantage most of the time, but can shut it down with a Will roll when you need to, once per action (or once per turn in combat). For instance, you have Decreased Time Rate or Blindness or Bad Grip most of the time, but with a Will roll you can "control" your disadvantage and basically shut it off for the purposes of your next action (or next turn in combat). The Controllable Disadvantage perk makes disadvantages advantageous, whereas a disadvantage that was a problem for you most of the time but that shear Will can overcome once per action would still be disadvantageous (just arguably much less so).
