By the way I suspect there are more contesters using LOTW that actual DXers. I think the main reason for that is they are all using

Absolutely... contesters are more "in touch" with electronic submissions.
They're used to the process. On the other hand, I have 50 qsls from w3lpl -hi!

  Any positive suggestions?

I think something that has not been mentioned much is the recent
feature of certain dx clusters now indicating which spotted callsigns
are LoTW users. By using the "un-official" callsign list at -

...and integrating it with VE7CC's ar-user program, I can now search
and pounce on dx that I'm relatively sure will qsl via LotW.  I'll still
pay the price for the exotic cards for the shack wall,  but when it comes
to qsl'ing specific band/modes,  I'm all for LotW.  This new cluster feature
really improves my time management when it comes to pursuing DXCC.

This is not a sales pitch for VE7CC's program (besides, it's free), but
I recommend it.
