Peter, for me, the answer is simple: some people want to develop in this game, master all possible versions and templates, play with strong players, and become stronger themselves, while others are content with simply playing one version for life (why not 1.4 or Armageddon's Blade, by the way?), using one template for one or two factions, and beating beginners.
It's just that everyone has their own approach, and we need to accept that.
But if we want to create a strong, representative tournament, not just a local one, then it would be good to consider the opinions of all groups and find a compromise. Notice that no one is saying that the final should be played on FULL-TE; on the contrary, to please less experienced players, we are suggesting TE-Lite. The differences from SOD are about 1-2%, and they all relate to the interface; this is where we will see who sabotages even this idea!
