Unless we adopt the policy of limiting SR pilots to SR mecha only, and RR pilots to RR mecha only, rather than allowing, as we do now, Newtypes to pilot Mazinger-Z and putting Grendizer Pilots in Gundams, then I see no reason to restrict the Valkyrie to M and lower mecha in such a way.
Besides, they already face dodge penalties in general.

Size is not so much a penality for piloting large units, as a bonus for piloting small units. Size gives -DC mods to the smaller unit.

As long as Potential works in a Dopp...

I don't like this idea very much. We've never had a balance problem relating to a real robot pilot flying anything, regardless of it's size. I don't see why dodging by size should be instituted at this juncture. It's never, ever, proven to be a problem. The only thing it could possibly do would be to mess up a balance that's completely fine as it is. DC modifications on the units are how we represent a mech's difficulty with dodging, and I say we keep it that way.

I'm agreeing with Wes and Tavish. Unless you're gonna restrict Potential to larger units, I don't see any reason for VP abilities not working in L and bigger stuff.

Sure, just put a Newtype in Gunbuster and have him use Accelerate. Or a Sei Senshi and have her do nothing, they too will dodge for 5.
There is no reason to introduce a size limitation other than the standing limit on Variable Form Specialty, which probably just shouldn't work with Getters. If we do, if we restrict their Dodge abilities, we will have to alter it so that every class only can pilot the units of their series without suffering massive penalties. Because that is the only way it would be balanced, and that, frankly, is a lame idea that flies in the face of the standard operations of the SimChamber for how long now?
Ooh, let's make it so Getter pilots can't use Gundam dressups!
