In other words, you prefer role-playing and scenarios rather than 
equal-points battles :-)

With the Cascadian emphasis on survivability "no matter the cost", large

financial and technical resources but small pool of manpower, they could

have just about any amount of Stealth. The only situation where DS2
Stealth 
*isn't* good is if you fight point-balanced battles, because that's the 
only situation where their much-too-high points cost matters...
