Get the sound dramas if you can, too. the cast list is fairly nice (Sayaka Ohara voices Irisviel), and all the characters who have voiced parts in Fate/stay night and other materials all have the same VAs that they had then.

They do sort of justify it in-context by pointing out that it'd be easier for a man to get into power at the time than a woman, so cross-dress would have made some level of sense.

Pretty much this.
FSN had some "surprises", but nothing anywhere close to the revelations in Ever17.
