I just have to say...

In thinking this way, you are concerned w/ one thing: getting ITM. Is that the point if playing MTTs? It shouldn't be.

You recently posted stats (I don't remember the thread) where you had a bunch of MTT results. You actually are profiting from these lower buy-in tournaments for one reason: you hit 2nd in one of them and pulled close to $150 (I don't know the exact number but this is a close enough guess). Surprisingly, look at your total profits. See any similarities?

You've heard it before, but I guess it didn't sink in: Don't play for ITM... play for the top half of the FT. If that means busting on the bubble, then deal w/ it.

So, in answer to your question: No. And to be honest, I've never even looked at that breakdown...
