Without saying too much, you may be right in some ways, and wrong in
others :)

I don't think it will be impossible, and probably not even very
difficult, if you're willing to accept differences that may be
inevitable due to the new system.

That was certainly the case with SRII -> SR3. I remember converting a
decker PC's stats and being very unhappy with the outcome; re-doing him
entirely with the SR3 chargen rules also wasn't perfect, but better than
the straight conversion.
