Of course I'd be ok with someone max late-reg'ing Day 1 and blinding down into Day 2 if that's what that player wanted to do, why wouldn't I?
Maybe I'm the crazy one here, but for a tournament like the WSOP Main Event, I just feel like to play on Day 2, you have to bag chips from Day 1.
In general, I'm not opposed to Day 2 buyins, I just think it cheapens the prestige of the WSOP Main Event. What's next, unlimited rebuys? Quantum reloads?
