Is there a "reverse Gigabet Dilemma"? Big stack play late in a MTT

[NinjaMan]

I think we're finding our ideas to be pretty close, honestly. 40k stack wouldnt be a middle stack, and not a small stack, so the stipulations change a little. Still, say you lose to the 40k stack: you're still at 60k, which has decreased your prize pool equity. However, would jumping 140+k gain more prize equity than dropping to 60k lose prize equity? Does that make sense or did I word that horrendously?
