Nice breakdown. That was pretty much my thoughts on it as well.

I saw it mentioned earlier that GURPS wasn't the first system to come up with the multiple genre angle.. I do believe though that it was, and possibly still is(I haven't picked up a new system in years, but try to keep my eyes open) the best try at it. The point was that you could realistically play military vs magery and the systems would have a workable hit&damage system. In addition, though the other systems were set up to take you into different genre, GURPS was the only one that would let you work out your own genre if you could come up with it, without any reworking of the rules. You want to play rats fighting in Nim? GURPS could do that, you want to fight with toons in toonsville, GURPS could do that, want to play, Chtulu? Watership down? Cyber assassins? Prince's of Amber? etc etc etc.. GURPS had rules in the core book that could cover almost any angle conceived of.
