The problem with physical AR ACCOMPANIED by mental AR is that the result is a little child, and nothing more. In a story (in any format), this can be "cute", but it kills conflict. In a similar vein, if someone were turned half-elephant, and his mentality changed to assume that were normal, it would probably be a lot less interesting than if he realized that he was NOT supposed to be half-elephant. This is because there is NO conflict.
Mental AR by itself is... not a concept that interests me.
