Personally I like the playoff and I think the way the ties are structured still rewards a team for finishing 2nd rather than 3rd or 4th. It's probably better for players too because when there was only 1 promotion spot available, teams who weren't in the running but looked safe from relegation could dump most of their squad half way through the season to cut costs and just get by on whoever they could get to play on the cheap.
The only real problem with it is that it's inherently designed to favour the top flight team, but that was the only way to get the top flight clubs at the time to vote in favour of it.
