For me, I don't personally care at all. I often win CT or division as high scoring in most anything I enter but I'll never be in the top dog category. This change might impact some very dedicated contesters who earn that top dog rating but probably not and it won't bother me a bit either way, I only compete against myself.
If someone has invested that much $ and thought into their stations and the equipment on it to become a contest station, they should have the better likelihood to win than me with my wire antennas strung up in trees. If they use remotes, it's just part of the real expense and attempt at win, place or show. Honestly, with that investment in maximum results, don't you think superstations and those that invest wisely to win should grab the top rings if they put in the effort?
