Pokerstars

i know this is more of a hand strategy forum, but since i know many microlimit players are also bonus chasers i thought i would put this here. i see many people talk about how great pokerstars is, but is it really that great of a place for a low limit (.5/1 and 1/2) bonus chaser? does it not take a $10 pot at .5/1 and a $12.5 pot at 1/2 to earn a FPP? the little i have looked at pokerstars, the play there doesnt seem to be that much different than absolute with players to flop averaging in the mid 30's for full ring. that doesnt seem like much fun to begin with, especially since it takes big pots at these levels to earn an FPP. the reason i ask is because i see where pokerstars is offering double the FPP's for each qualifying hand throught the end of the year. even with that, i dont see many positives playing at the low limits. am i missing something?
