also it's no where near close to "get 50% more rakeback" even whilst you do maintain it. "bare" SNE is gonna be around 40% rakeback, compared to 28% 'bare' SN rakeback. You start accruing milestones from the bottom again, so it's only worth 1.43x what SN is worth (5x compared to 3.5x) whilst you can maintain SNE.
Most of the value (and all the 70-80% rakeback quoted) are for hitting the milestones. Unless maintaining SNE in to the next year, the additional bonuses of 'next year' isn't that great than from starting from scratch. I doubt "deciding" to lose 30k over 2 months to go from 800k VPPs to 1m VPPs is worthwhile.
Just saw this in the SNE Thread in the Zoo.
"For anyone needing motivation or feeling like they might come up short for elite....
Value for Supernova going from 800k to 1m
200k vpp x 3.5 fpp's= 700k fpp- value ($11.2k)
2 Live tourney's or 1 Tourney + 10k cash - value ($20k-$25k)
Online WCOOP ME ($5k)
5 times muliplier for following year instead of 3.5- value is dependent on play but @ 80k vpp's/month thats an extra 2k per month for 10 months- possibly more ($20+)
Grand total $56.2k+
Pretty much the same value of going from 0-800k but one forth the work!!!
If you ever were to earn another 200k vpp's later you just lost out on $30k+"
