Interesting. I wonder if cost isn't one of your biggest advantages-  
i.e your whole approach is cost effective, so it will be hard to  
compete with you dollar for dollar. By giving away that advantage, (a  
claiming format is designed to prevent someone from spending their  
way to victory), you make your point all the stronger- "I'll take you  
on with fewer dollars and still beat you".

Congratulations.
