All it means is that the characters are different, the trees are different, and the growth will be different. You really have to see it as a whole.

Besides, we all know Borderlands has never been about balance. This isn't your 20$ monthly fee, raid party, grind fest, competitive MMO. This is about fun, and playing the game the way you want to play it. Balance can go screw itself.
