This distinction alone I think would help to set them apart.

There have been a number of changes in the past year that point to reduced costs for FIRST, but teams have yet to see those savings passed on the them; at least, outside of Michigan, perhaps.

Agree totally. FIRST needs to more elaborately explain what the new design would be, along with the real cost savings to teams. Only then can they expect meaningful feedback.
