The worst part of this is that if Brawn goes on to win, they'll be tainted by the whining of the big teams. If one of the big teams win, they'll be regaled for having overcome the early rule "changes" and going on to win...

I'm not so sure. I'd contribute most of McLaren's handling problems to a lack of aero so far. If they can get more downforce, that might be just the ticket to get them back into the big league.

As for Ferrari, they've got it every bit as bad as McLaren in the aero department and so much worse with transmission and KERS issues.
