Too many events at WSOP that reward the bracelet?

I was under the impression from a couple yrs ago the the bracelet for the Big One was a substantially nicer/more expensive bracelet then the other ones...

but I could be wrong...

I'm not sure I see this as an issue.

Firstly, anyone with even a passing knowledge of Poker understands that there are multiple bracelets at WSOP.

Secondly, winning even one of the lesser tournaments is a tremendous accomplishment and for an amateur player is likely to be the highlight of their poker playing life.

Thirdly, I think the fact that there are many bracelet games builds interest in Poker generally and in the other WSOP events specifically -- it's good marketing for Poker.

So, if the downside here is that someone who is uninformed thinks that a WSOP bracelet means more than it actually does, it seems to me that there is little downside here.
