Looks good. FWIW, another option that came up on this list is to give
anyone with enhanced reflexes extra melee combat dice equal to their
enhancement's rating/force.

So, a Sam with Rating 3 Wired Reflexes would get +3 dice to his (un)armed
combat skill(s) tests.

Another popular house rule is to remove the counter-strike option (if the
target gets more successes he blocks/dodges the attack, but does not
counter attack). This one glitches with RL, but it makes for a more
balanced game, IMHO.
