To answer your question... we kind of wanted to keep the Cylons mechanical BUT have them just starting to embrace the biological tech that created the Human Cylons. This is both because personally that was the one aspect we didn't like about the new Battlestar series... and also we want to use it of the COMING contact with the Turians and the Citadel Council... we wanted to keep them computerized and mechanical because let's face it... that is going to create some amazingly juicy conflict later on.

Cybernetics on the other hand is something we wanted to start to implement... with all of the Coalition... Cylons adding bio-neural circuits... Humans installing mechanical neural implants (think Ghost in the Shell but not as extreme).

Let us know your own thoughts on the matter. The Xindi Conflict is more to introduce the Mass Relay conscripacy to the Star Trek races (and those of 'smaller' series that could be intregrated) and to make make the Star Trek species... more suspicious of their Mass Effect counterparts... for more juicy conflict later on
