Let's assume that Legion becomes a thing or at least it is announced that DUST is going to the PC. Let's also assume that CCP means well to have 'investment' transfer over. Here is the question:
Would you save your Passive and Active boosters for Legion or use them now?
As more and more time passes, the odds that all SP will transfer gets to be less and less likely. You get into scenarios where even people that have taken LONG breaks are running at 36 million SP and those that have capped out every week are probably preach close to 80. Jeez, even a passive SP farmer is likely to have 13 million now. When it opens to the PC, there are going to be a slew of new players that are not going to be able to keep up with that kind of SP, so it seems like that SP transfer might get knocked down. So, again:
Save Passive and Active boosters or use them now?
Curious to hear people's reasoning on this.

My source is the same thing I am sitting on, really. Just a thought is all.
The reason I have it is because when this game moves to the PC, there are going to be a huge influx of people. If the whole "One Clone name" thing happens (think Battle.net tag) I could see people that only want to do X thing in EVE play DUST while they wait for their corporation to get ready to do X thing. In Vegas, I met a bunch of people that said they only like to do PvP in EVE. They would log in, see if they can get a gang going to do a roam, and if not they would leave. Something like DUST/Legion for those guys would be great because they can play a more fast paced, easy going game while they set up something in the slower paced game.
A whole bunch of new players are going to have a rough time against people that have multiple million SP. Even just "I have Armor, CPU, PG, Weapon fitting, Shield, E-war, and Biotics passives maxed" is going to be a massive lead. I could see a company "potentially, possibly, maybe" doing a reduced portion of SP so as to not have people like, well, all of us stomping on a new influx of players. It isn't really something I am concerned about but if SP is going to be reduced or capped, then moving a booster would be safer. Of course, boosters may not transfer over.
Just wondering what each of you would do?
