Beagle. Your options are a little simplistic until we know the full details and ramifications of the NPPL / LAPL - or are you saying that it's only ever the medicals that are likely to be different?

Don't forget that the NPPL (Microlights) is already a licence that can be used to fly across Europe, and it's important that this is not changed. Whilst the NPPL for SSEA and SLMG is a 'choice' in that pilots can choose whether to fly on this or a JAR licence - for microlights it's the only one available. Microlight pilots with an NPPL have already been shafted (deliberate choice of words) with an entirely unnecessary revalidation regime that was not supported by the panel of microlight examiners and was opposed in a sham consultation - to no avail.
