As Jaci mentioned, since (bar bad scouting) you only have two "top" robots per alliance, stacked divisions don't end up with a stacked alliance on Einstein. Stacked Einstein alliances are almost entirely due to bad scouting by the majority of the division they come from. What they do result in is many stacked alliances in divisional playoffs. Some of those alliances that lose in the semis or finals of a stacked division could be objectively better than alliances that win weaker divisions, and it sucks for those teams to know that they missed out on Einstein just by being unlucky in their assigned division.

What's the opportunity cost for making this change? I've seen some people debating that it would make a positive change, and some arguing that there wouldn't be a significant effect at all. Does anybody thing this would cause a negative change?
