I enjoy Back in Action with the realistic rebalancing mod. Is Crossfire worth it?

Downloaded the Back in Action realistic rebalance mod and I'm loving it. Makes the game proper, but very hard to me. Is Crossfire worth it? What new features/weapons/characters are really added to the game? The store page description is pretty vague.

Crossfire is a very small campaign with more mercs, new guns (but only few guns in total), more difficulty, and a big truckload of bugs. If you play without the Realistic Rebalancing Mod there is about 35% chance for the main quest to break, forcing you to start all over.
If you really enjoyed Back in Action and need a change of scenery, buy it.

-Crossfire is much shorter than Back in action (about 70% less sectors)
-enemies have completely different equipment and are much harder
-the order in which you liberate sectors is quite linear (world map has choke points)
-income is very low and there are very few NPCs to recruit (your squad will have 2-5 members)

Okay thanks for the info. Sounds like for the time being I'll stick to BiA.

You said the enemies are tougher in Crossfire. Is that also the case with realistic rebalancing mod? I ask because the mod in BiA makes the enemies quite tough with higher end gear pretty early on. For example I just liberated San Mona or whatever and every guard had body armor making shotguns (with no armor pen) almost completely useless.
