I have no problem with punch powers, not having punch power would be essentially the same system as the CC/SC system. Personally I don't really care much but if you think in the even longer run, hopefully I'll be getting reps in the future to which will still have me ahead of the newbies because I'll be gaining rep just as they will. If you're worried about the number of individual rep clicks, I think just telling us that number (which I assume can be done) would solve that gripe right?
