Really, what stats matter? Speed? Its just stamina. Strength? That's a physical thing, so probably split over health and stamina. Throw in a race specific major power and they're already plenty different. Its good being able to start as what you want and still be who you want, and I for one have only ever chosen a race for their looks.
