I've played in a few of the MTT steps:  beat step 1 1st try, got a "requalifying spot" for step 2 first try there, then I busted out of step 2 in my second attempt. 
 
I played 2 mroe step 1s but no luck. 
 
I've also played in one STT step tourney.  I really didn't like it at all.  I think I had the misfortune of having probably 6-7 solid players at the table with me.  I doubled up on the first hand, yes first hand.  By the time we got to 4/5 handed, the blinds were pretty high and everyone had equal stacks. 
 
From that point on, it was a crapshoot.  I mean when there 8k in chips at the table, roughly evenly divided between 4 or 5 of you, what can you do at $400 big blinds.   
 
I'm not liking my chances with the structure if things become a crap shoot at 3 out of 5 levels or worse. 
 
I'm going to be an occasional player of the 2 table versiions.
