Comparing dice doesn't bother me. What scares me is the player having to pick a different die depending on what he's doing. At least, from what I've read, SW doesn't change the die depending on the situation. This was what doomed my Ironclaw campaign. About 1/3 of the time the player had to reroll because he rolled the wrong dice. My wife, who games only occasionally, gave up in frustration. We switched to Hero and she could understand that; no matter what she wanted to do she would roll 3d6. Worked great.

If I were to base a super-simple RPG off a mini-game, I'd use Necromunda/Mordhiem. I ran a short Judge Dredd campaign using modified Necromumda rules. It worked pretty well.
