Has anyone else changed their character's race in game and found that they immediately regretted the decision?

I just changed the toon I've had from the game's launch from orc to imperial, seeking the desirous racial passives - I'd always regretted rolling him orc, right from the beginning. Should have gone imperial. I've had crowns from my membership sitting around doing nothing, and I'd been thinking about it for a while. Now, finally, I've made the switch. In the character editor I felt happy with his appearance, I kept him mostly the same as the orc had been, little touch ups here and there, you know, if you're changing your whole race nothing wrong with a little fiddling. Looked good. Then, I logged into the game... My mighty orc warrior (he's NB tank, hence imperial yearnings) is now this small little fellow, whose legs don't quite fit, and he runs like he's making fun of the act of running itself. His broad muscular shoulders replaced by arms less impressive than the ones I use to wield the keyboard and mouse which control them.

I didn't really need the racial passives... Now I'm an abomination. Anyone else felt this way about their race changes?

P.S. no offense to fans of the imperial aesthetic, I embellished the language here for comical effect.
