Lifting ST (only for 'advantage')

Just buy the next encumbrance level of the Can Carry Objects or Extra Carrying Capacity enhancement for the advantage?

Since the cost of these is not fixed (the enhancement values vary for some of them, and of course the base costs can be quite different) dodging around those costs by trying to build the same effects from another trait seems likely to be an exercise in munchkinism to try to score a lower cost. If it isn't, well, it's still a lot of effort to duplicate something there is already a reasonable rule for.

Two reasonable rules actually, since anything you put into Payload counts as zero encumbrance for such advantages - again not exactly the same effect, but quite close.
