a diminished effect.

Precisely my point, and precisely why putting them on an uneven footing will
diminsh (the number of) entries. Better to have a level playing field, one way
or the other, and better to set that field to maximise the number of entries.

It's similar to the difference between seeing a
picture of a model as opposed to holding it in your hand.  Of course
that the model taht allows me to inspect it closer, in whatever angle
that interests me, that I can look inside at how it was built, that
model will have a better chance of getting my vote.  Not because I like
the fact that the DAT is available, but because having the DAT available
gives me a chance to inspect it better.

All true but not relevant to my point.

(...) I guess I just disagree with you there :) I think it's better to have a better contest, and perhaps lose a few entries of those who want to sell their models. The increased quality of the interface is worth it, imo. (21 years ago, 6-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
