A suggestion for the new AT powers

As many have already said it is a lot of bother to work through an AT all the way to lvl 40 for 3 powers that you will then use on a Free Form character.
This is for the following reasons:
1) The AT's construction is not all that good. It is a damage centric build with next to no defense and a poor heal. In other words it is a Glass Cannon which means it will be killed almost constantly.
2) It takes a fairly lengthy grind for most folks to reach lvl 40 to begin with.
3) It is really annoying having to either buy a full retrain token for the character at the end or just delete/shelf that character after grinding it all the way up because you REALLY want to get it to be Free Form.
4) Three powers is not much to do all that for. In this particular AT's case it is even worse because the Toggle is not altogether good and it is universally understood that Crowd Control effects are next to worthless outside of very specific builds. So only one of these new powers is even really worth caring about.
So I have a few suggestions to help ease this issue.
A) Once reaching lvl 40 on the new AT's then you get a free opportunity to change that character to an FF if you are a Gold Member.
Add the new powers as a small pack or one at a time in the C-Store. These would not be automatically granted to Gold Players but instead would have to be purchased like many Travel Powers.
