Well if you have 66 chips at 50/100 blinds you will often need a conflip or suckout to bouble up. If you have 2000 chips you can a) wait for better cards and b) use your bigstack to get even more chips.

Sure. 2000 is better than 66. 660 are better than 66, too. When it's time to shift gears, 660 might be just as good as 2000, whereas 660 is far better than 66, if the alternative to 2000 is 66.
What I'm getting at, or trying to surround, isn't it more important to husband your chips early, because it's hard to make a big chip lead last? It just feels (and I know how much you guys hate that word without numbers to back it up), but it feels like when the whole table is jockeying for position, it's best to lay back and wait, then go when it's the right time to go.
