Wouldn't the $4 bring-in actually kill action, because of the risk/reward ratio of stealing the blinds?

Small blinds usually discourage blind stealing, but if you have an action game, there won't be any blind stealing, and of course you don't want any. The purpose of having an extra blind is to get an extra person stuck in the hand. Having the small blinds gives the impression of cheapness, but it is deceptive. It's really to get loose players pot stuck for $1--hard to believe, I know, but that's what happens. They are in a game with a $4 BB, but think they are in a game with a $2 BB.
I also advocate unlimited sleeping and straddling, unless the game gets completely out of control. Then you might want to limit it to the kill that limon describes. With a BB-style kill, you have to decide who will have first option to kill it: UTG, Button or the first guy to throw in his money. If the Button gets to kill, it may be more like murder.
