I think the biggest reason why I still cannot accept the idea of arcanotech is that Mythos science is supposed to drive people insane when they try to grok it. Not insane as in depression, bipolar or other type of chemical imbalances which is commonly known, but trauma, perception-shattering revelations and so on.

I am quite looking forward to a game which pits high technology against the Mythos, with a sense of horror and forbidding like in Aliens with the occasional big weapons showdown. (Well, Innsmouth got the hell bombed out from it)
