I was just thinking about this the other day. From a story telling standpoint and the 'coolness' factor I think a satellite into the WPT Championship might be better than the WE Main Event. Let's face it the Main Event is so large, with pushing over 6000 players next year that when you are seated at the table you might not recognize anybody at your table or the neighboring tables. At a full table of 10 at the WPT Championship you are sure to know between two and seven pros, if you follow the game closely, who ponied up the $25,000 to enter. Sure the compeitition will be much harder, but to be the best you have to beat the best.
Thoughts?

I am a pretty abysmal tournament poker player, but given all the dead money I think my EV for the WSOP ME would be slightly more than $10K. Meanwhile my EV for the WPT is probably a lot closer to $0. So I would go with WSOP. Even though I think winning the WPT is more prestigious given the tougher field.
