For SMD6 I bought an exit row seat but I think the premium was only $300 which, given my height, was worth it. I wasn't prepared to pay $700 for two hours of extra legroom though .....
I agree the price points were odd. I am price insensitive, in general, but at the same time I don't hand over $700 unnecessarily. Brian is even taller than me (we've met) so he probably stumped up $1,999 - I doubt Tommy comped him!

Based on the MP master thread, it seems as though someone other than Tommy is running it this year. Or maybe someone else is just the mouthpiece?
In any case, it looks like one of the more attractive MDs in terms of stopping points. And no luggage factory tours!
