Default Stars v. Tilt: Do the fish outweigh the bonuses?

Stars Pro's assuming they stay in the market:
FISH FISH FISH
Nice Software (love waffle card)
FPP + Nice Store
Reload Bonuses
$50 first deposit bonus
RESIZABLE TABLES

FTP:
27% RB
$600 first deposit bonus
Nice Software (my skins make it look nicer than Stars w/ waffle cards)
FPP - crappy store (although claims to be getting better)
No resizable tables (not yet anyway)
Large number of fish growing consistently


What it seems to boil down to is whether 550 dollars in bonus + 27% RB + crappy FPP that might get bette > = < Stars FISH + FPP


I am leaning towards Stars. I am holding off on creating anything at either site until Stars releases its statement as I am sure MANY people are doing, and are wondering the same thing I am concerning these two leading sites.

Stars probably has the worst ring games of all the big sites...

i think the games have actually been getting softer since party's announcement. it may be far fetched, but it does seem like there are a lot of new weak players coming to play at stars...they could easily be coming from party.

You guys saying this are nuts. I know for sure that the games at my limits are getting tougher at Stars, there are a lot more regulars in the games than there used to be

Maybe because the longer you play there, the more you recognize the regulars? Also, "regular" doesn't necessarily mean "good".

My win rate at stars and FT is nearly identical, so the bonuses/RB make a FT a no-brainer for me during prime time.

I play Stars during off hours when FT gets down to 3-5k players.

Over and over I read discussions about if a certain site is fishy/soft/profitable. Usually several people weigh in with their contradictory opinions.
Maybe it should become standard practice to mention the limit and table size you are playing when making these claims. It's quite possible that a site is soft on one level but tough on another.

Stars software moves so [censored] slow that I can't stand to play any sort of ring game there.
