I wouldn't abandon one for the other, but I agree the 3 NPS scale patterns have the advantage of consistency. I find both "systems" to be very useful.

I've always felt that at a certain point your theory should exist all over the fretboard with no physical boundaries....its almost like you learn these systems as a way to more easily package the sounds while you are learning but as time goes by they should "dissolve" into one large fretboard pattern that you are more intimately familiar with.... Just my .02 :-) I've always taught both systems (as well as the "Unitar" or "learn it all on one string at a time" idea...I think Mick Goodrick was one of the first folks to teach that) with an eye towards having the student have no "systems" in the future.
