I don't know about MERP being simplier. There were some crazy rules in MERP, especially with the spellcasters and the chances to attract evil and the fact that you could use Rolemaster style magic in Middle Earth to begin with.

I think that HARP is similiar to MERP but in some ways, more streamlined, especially in combat with it's elimination of armor type (AT) as a factor and the critical hit and damage with a single role.
