Default More levels or more time?

Which would you prefer, and why? Or does it not matter.

The rounds before and after are the same in both instances. The 25/50 level is round 4. First 3 rounds are 5/10, 10/20, 15/30. Any other info needed?

Scenario 1:

Blinds Time

25/50 20 min
50/100 20 min
75/150 20 min
100/200 20 min
150/300 20 min
200/400 20 min

Scenario 2:

Blinds Time

25/50 30 min
50/100 30 min
100/200 30 min
200/400 30 min

The second- I have 10 more minutes at a lower blind than 200/400, when presumably the average M is low.

If, however, players will let themselves be blinded off if they don't pay attention, give me the first structure instead.

I'm assuming same stack sizes for both structures.

With inexperienced villains, definitely 1st, quality villians the 2nd.

The second one is a slower structure. The BB averages 75 for the first hour while in the first one, the BB averages 100 for the first hour.

Both of you guys are correct but what if we just say that you post blinds every 25 minutes, so at :25, :50 and :75 (1:15) In this case it costs you more under scenario 1 than scenario 2, 675 vs. 525. Thats pretty significant. It works out this way under several other examples also, maybe not as extreme though. Scenario 1 starts costing you more in the middle of this range so when you do get to the 200/400 level you actually have less. Scenario 2 costs more at the end, where I believe it will end up costing you slightly more.

Wouldn't you want to preserve your chips / stack / playing ability for as long as possible? If so I would think Scenario 2 would be a better choice?

Edit: After rereading the posts I think we're all in agreement?
