We started goin' crazy with points when my crew started out; 750 isn't so daunting as you would think. The levels of complexity and strategy grow with the gamer. I find 750 point games to be even more tense and fraut with peril. I've demo-ed a friend with a 650 point game with some basic troops only and found he was more than able to handle the numbers. It depends on who's running the demo more than anything.
