Jumping to Caric's defense on this one...sometimes a GM manages to keep
his/her players limited to a give and take situation. If they want the Force
4 version, they only have to use their own personal library to design it
perhaps, while if they want a Force 6 version, then they may have to go
elsewhere. Then there is always the question of the Karma. 2 points in some
situations can mean a lot.
