I say don't F with the Novice class, as it is. You asked for personal opinions, and I can tell you that being able to spend an entire season in N allowed me to come whatever part of the day I wanted, and not worry about points/classes/schedules/shit. Come, run, have fun, and don't worry about all that crap while you're still likely in the "is this a sport I want to get serious about" phase.
After running a full season of "no worries" I can say I DEFINITELY feel that I was WAY more ready to actually compete in class this year, confidence wise, and skill wise.
You're completely right in that a bunch of newbies shoved into classes will not really mean "competition" so much as just numbers.
