From what I've read, your team must qualify for the MI State Championship, and around 18 teams from that competition will qualify for Atlanta. It actually puts the MI teams at a disadvantage for Atlanta financially. $5000 + $4000 if you make it to MI. That's one chance to make Atlanta. One chance to Atlanta for an outside-Mich team is $6000. Not to mention any fees going along with Atlanta if you make it there.

MI teams are saving money, yes...unless you merit Atlanta, compared to teams who qualify through one regional.

[Disclaimer2: My information could very well be incorrect. Please excuse me if it is. Simply trying to point something out I noticed. ]
