Sludge basically gives you a blank sheet to work with.

Heh, so does C++.
On a serious note, SLUDGE does have those advantages you listed, except...
From SLUDGE FAQ:
How much does it cost to register the development kit?
It's $50 US.
Why not 24-bit colour?
Simply because SLUDGE was developed in 16-bit colour mode, so it stuck. Maybe, if there's enough call for it, 24-bit colour will be available as an option later... but increasing the size of data files so much for the sake of smoother gradients seems like too high a price to pay for the moment.
Which makes AGS a little more attractive, IMO (but of course, with its share of disadvantages). I'm glad that there is more than one choice, however.
