Both numbers can be further reduced by $1,250 by choosing 2,500 SQCs as both 40K and 60K MBs although that does defeat the purpose of acquiring more eUps.

Qualifying has become more difficult, especially for the SQM rich and SQD poor cohort in the previous regime, but it is not quite as bad as it appears at first glance.
