What do you think of NGC’s new 10-point grading system? Is it good for the collector?

The current 70-point system has worked well enough over the decades. A 100-point that was tried not too long ago in Europe was not looked favorably upon in the USA and Canada. So why would NGC think their more complicated 10-point proposal (which isn’t just simply 10 points) will work? It’s just another gimmick on their part to try to grab more money from collectors.
