I think I wasn't clear.  I think cost is one of your advantages, and  
a claiming format would showcase it- it would be very hard to build a  
sophisticated cat or tri to your price point.

By not using a claim format you give that advantage away- i.e. you'll  
take on the Cogito boys anyways. That is part of what I'm trying to  
salute.
