New type 1.5 and the vintage community

Not sure if I should post this on this forum, since I'll not be talking about cards or decklists for the new type 1.5. If so, please move the thread to wherever it belongs.

I was just wondering how this new build-a-deck-with-yur-ol'-cards format will be received by the established vintage community. Do you all find it appealing, since :

1. the (financial) entrance barrier is lower than for type I.
2. there will be less gruesome, skilless turn 1 kills in this format.
3. other fun - but in type I suboptimal - cards will be played.

or do you think it will less fun because of the lack of brokeness and ultra fast gameplay?

Do you think the format will receive more attention, on the internet as well as local gamestores organizing type 1.5 torunaments? What do you think - if anything can be said - about the metagame? Will it be more versatile or more narrowed than the type I metagame?

All these questions I'm now trying to answer for myself, but I was just curious what you guys/girls r thinking?
