500 chip set: how to choose quantity for each color chip?

[jtr]

I'm not really a tournament guy. For those of you who run a lot of home tournaments, how much are large chip denominations part of the fun? Do people just like saying "I raise 3 thousand more", etc.?

The reason I ask is that the T200 setup above, using white chips, looks perfectly reasonable to me, but I get the feeling that such chip distributions get no love in this forum.
