Not really.

No chest/abdomen, all hit locations have the same chance.

So, different dice for different body types. It takes the simplicity away from a very simple concept.

I like the D20. If I were to change it, I'd use a D100, especially if I needed to roll crunchier locations - hands, feet, limb sections, areas of the body etc.

But a D20 is quick and easy and we have hit locations for a lot of body types from older versions of the RQ rules.
