I agree 100%. Furthermore, it is clear that our attempts to interpret the DL.com webpage and Insiders' posts are obviously going nowhere. How about we stop speculating and discuss the "6 or 10 PMUs" issue once we receive clarification from DL...
On a different issue, I was surprised how little discussion we had on the $-value of PMUs that was started by Flying_Duck, below (maybe it was drowned by the 6 vs. 10 PMU issue). Personally, I was surprised at how little cost/value they have to DL, and how much profit potential they can generate for DL.

As a DM you can choose 6 one day passes to SC or 6 SWUs?
Let's see, one day pass to SC is $50, thus DL must consider SWU to be worth $50 too!!

6 PMU/year x $250 saving x 20% = $300 cost/year to DL
Which also comes to $50 / PMU
