I'm not saying I disagree with you, I'd probably still pick the next fastest can grabber, but there are other options. If I were 1114 and I had the fastest can grabber in my division, I might pick 148 for the pure scoring they offer.
Also, teams on Einstein might choose to forgo the direct can battle in favor of a 2-2 split of cans. Anything is possible. Maybe some of these team's can grabbers break and they lose to an alliance with a slower can grab.
I also really like to root for the underdog (I'm one of THOSE people that thinks serpentine drafts are AWESOME).

Still to their advantage to get the other fastest grabber, they're not racing the rest of their division anymore, they're racing the other division winners, 1114 would have to comfortably have the fastest most reliable grabber in the world to feel safe with no other grabbers on their alliance, if they ever don't go 5 and 5 with the cans they lose that match immediately, that's a big risk to take for an alliance that puts up 8 stacks just for show.
