Yup, I'm sure there are people who will always like the dice better.

re: the Fishermen, one of the nice features of this variant is that it "opens the game up" a bit. There is more production, and there are more useful spots to build in. For folks who found the 4-player version of the game a little tight, with one player potentially squeezed out too early due to a lack of building options, the slightly richer Fishermen may make the game more appealing.
Almost exactly what I wrote in my longer full review of the Fishermen.
