I'd also prefer an idea of a 25-man gateway instance with a st of 10 man instances after it in progression; it lends itself to a bit more fluid progression, since while you're still working with an uneven number, the number is swayed in your favor this time (vice having to run 2.5 separate raids to get geared for the single 25-man).
Also Kehoe, I think your concern is one we all share, and that's why somebody brought up comparable gear for comparable difficulty. Beating Raid Lite really shouldn't net you Raid Normal or Raid Heroic gear, just like running regular 5-mans doesn't net you Badges or Heroic gear either. Maybe set the gear in Raid Lite as comparable for bridging gear between the Lite instances and Normal instances, with (for example) BT Lite giving enough of a gear edge to get a foot into say, SSC or TK Normal. It still leaves a lot of content to be done 'hardway', but allows those guilds sa learning curve that's manageable while still putting up a significant challenge to overcome to play with the big boys.
