For my application (and for Decimal also) the same precedence as traditional math would be the key success factor of the new operators.
Lower precedence (as now for custom operators) would be counter-intuitive, cause hardly detectable errors in calculations and lead to excessive use of brackets, because a <+> b<*>c (or a + b<*>c, as in my case) would actually work like (a + b)<*>c, not like a + (b<*>c), as one would expect by default.
