Not a bad idea, although I should mention that most Mads will probably 
be continually expanding their range of science skills...

Also, i generally (the one session I had a mad scientist) assume that 
they are going to be time intensive, but I am easy going on the costs. 
Basically, though, you can get it cheap, you can get it right, or you 
can get it fast. Pick two, or for most mad scientists, pick one.
