I think so, too.
I like the idea of interstellar Jump Gates working only outside The Limit. First, that keeps the travel times between systems from dropping all the down way to "minutes." Second, there's still a reason for non-scientific stations at or near The Limit (such as Sector General or Ultima) to exist. (While the idea of putting gates on the surface of Earth and Gallifrey and running a rail line through them does have some appeal, it's not something that I think fits into Fenspace...)
In-system Spacegates... hmmmmm... how are they different from speed drives, from handwavium's point of view? (I know that's an extremely difficult question to answer.)
