Yes, all tradeoffs. Of course, it was not too difficult to have multiple sets of art.

I like 160x100 presentations and thought they were a good use of the CGA personally. A lot of game can be done at that resolution.

Really, the thing for IBM to have done was 16 color graphics of some kind. 160x200 was the obvious choice in that it would have worked with their memory scan scheme.
