I'd rather have the buyin to the WPT than the WSOP-ME. I'm not playing in any satellites for either, however.

The WSOP seat is worth less to me than the WPT seat. That's all there is to it. 25,000 > 10,000, and the relatively higher percentage of dead money doesn't make up for that. If they were both worth the same expectation to me, then I'd rather play in the WPT event because I don't at all care about being on TV. Without the cameras rolling, perhaps fewer of my opponents would act like morons.

I would get no particular joy playing against name players. In fact, if it's all the same, I'd rather they were at some other table, thank you very much.

I can get my ass kicked by world class players at bridge for a lot less money.
