It's your game, don't let us bully you! MA seems a bit more balanced to me. EA seems like it is dominated by bless rushes.
If you really want to do EA, then stick to it.
I logged on to post that I was going to start a game with almost identical parameters except MA and I saw yours and decided to hold off so as not to cannibalize the noobs.
It could very well be that there are enough interested noobs to do both and I could do an MA and you could stick to EA.
