First question...whose great idea was mixing 19T and 13.5? I'd be back to running brushed Komodos in a New York minute with that field.
Second question...just what do you propose as an "entry level" class for 1/12?
Observation...my argument, shared by many, is that the existing 4-cell Stock class isn't particularly "newbie-friendly". Hell, I've seen experienced racers that would do better with LESS power. If, as you say, 2s and "stock" is at the speed of a 19t (a premise that I don't think I agree with...I'd estimate it to be faster...but not having personally tried it I'll concede the point) that doesn't bode well for entry level. The 1s LiPo makes a 1s/17.5 class a VERY reasonable entry/lower power class, 13.5 a great Stock replacement and from there go nuts.
