Re: Given the choice of $$ or seat.....
Since I treat poker as a hobby not a profession, I would take a seat. Since I am winning player, I don't need 10k for my bankroll, nor do I want to mix it in with my 'real money'. To have a chance to be known as the world champion and be set for life is rare. I know that it'll be -EV in terms of cash value, since I don't expect to be above average in that world-class field. However the non-cash EV is +++++++++++++++.
1. Play with best
2. Chance at being known as the best
3. Be on TV
4. Chance to be set for life
5. Have people on 2+2 tell you how dumb and lucky you are
