That's another system I own but have never really used, but in its case it's not because I can't internalize the system - I have a pretty good handle on that - but because I always felt it did an extremely poor job of capturing its supposedly default Supers setting. Baroque is a very kind word for it.
However, you're right that it's got a solid combat system, especially for a more lethal than D&D, differences between brawling and weapon-play setting. I still have concerns about how much the mechanic can be gamed, but if I keep the starting points low and install a Normal Characteristic Maxima (or better still, pre-build the characters) and minimize or eliminate magic that should rein things in quite a bit.
