I like the i16 system enhancements and the one little PVE change they made (watch for areas where you normally see Council), but I'd like to see more done to its Power Customization. They've done a lot of work and it shows, but they could go further. I'd say that when you compare the two games in terms of power customization it sort of evens out. No power emination selection in COH, nor do all powers have the same number of options, but CO doesn't have alternate animations on any powers, nor alternate graphics like some of the COH powersets go.
I personally believe there needs to be complete divorce from appearance and powers - that'll be the ultimate in power customization. Let me choose a power for how it works, then choose animation, graphics used, then color tints. Neither game does this, but hopefully in time they both will.

Example (using COH terms): I pick Energy Bolt for how the power works (knockback), choose to use one of the Fire animations/eminations (maybe the one where you raise your hands over your head), make it look like an Ice Bolt, then color it sort of a green color (just because).
