Default Step Program Turbo Option

I've gotten up to the Final Step in the Step Prog for a Main Event Seat

I've been playing mostly Turbo 9 Player SnGs thus far (with one regular and one super turbo mixed in when that was all that was starting) and I am considering which of the options to Play for the final Step between the allotted 3 choices of Regular SNG, Turbo SNG and Super Turbo SNG.

Normally there wouldn't be a thread here and I'd continue playing the Turbos but the prize pool is different for Super Turbos than it is for Regular or Turbos.

The Regular SNG and Turbo SNG are both $2000 + $100 and pay out in the following manner

1st: Seat
2nd-3rd: Repeat Step 7 ($2100 Buy In)
4th-6th: Drop to Step 6 ($640 Buy In)

The Super Turbo SNG is a $2060 + $40 and pays out as follows

1st: Seat
2nd-3rd: Repeat Step 7 ($2100 Buy In)
4th-6th: Drop to Step 6 ($640 Buy In)
7th-8th: Drop to Step 5 ($216 Buy In)

Does the added benefit of a lower rake and more prize pool,thus allowing 2 extra spots to be paid out without affecting any of the higher place payouts make me want to give the super turbo a think?

It's obviously much higher variance but I'm also thinking that the level of play will probably be pretty high at the final step so maybe the low stacks and thus push/fold strategy will neutralize the edge Im sure the more experienced SNGers could have ... then again do I really wanna crapshoot in the last Step? Is it a crapshoot?

What do people think?
