Some good points... and doing people in a duo or "small groups" which occasionally team up is certainly an option. I guess it's all a matter of how the members of the game want to go about things. If you want to pull off a bunch of high end runs against megacorps, well you'll need everyone for that. If you're looking to get up to no-good and hijinks in the general Seattle Metroplex area, being in a smaller group probably is better.
