I like antes because I think they are favorable to good players. Bad players don't really care about blind structure and antes so you won't win or lose any bad players if you change the structure. Some good players might switch to FTP when you have no more antes.

In general I like Stars structure. I think the problem of PartyPoker's structure is the big step between 100/200 and 200/400. You tried to make this transition easier by adding another round of 100/200 blinds with antes. I like that, but my preference would be a 150/300 level instead of another 100/200. If the antes kick in at 150/300 or at 200/400 should be discussed, but that would help the games run a bit smoother. I notice that many people are getting short when the 200/400 level starts and the game becomes a gamble during that period because even the bad players realize that they have to do something to survive. This leads to a "gambling stage" in my opinion. Which shouldn't be the interest of Pokerstars.
