Mook, how long would you allocate for Players to learn the characters each time? Something like:
1) 150 pt level - 20 minutes for intro, basic rules, and learning sheet, then 40 minutes for a basic role playing encounter and first combat
2) 250 pt level - 10-15 minutes for new abilities, then 45-50 minutes for more extensive combat, maybe a physical skill challenge
3) 400 pt level - 10 minutes for new abilities, then 50 minutes for high powered boss fight ...?

I guess one point to consider is the number of players you run this for: 1-2, 2-4, 3-6, 4-8, ...?

The number of players is a real concern. I hadn't given it much thought, I almost never run more than four at a table.

Learning the new sheets shouldn't be too bad if you highlight the new stuff, like "In the past five years, your DX has gone up by 2 (as have all of your skills), and your Super Monkey Death Punch now does 3d damage instead of 2d. You've also learned how to Levitate for up to three minutes at a time," something like that.
