Well see that is what I was trying to get at with you - you don't do them for 175.00  - I didn't say did people like them or didn't like them - I love big projects and my clients love me to do them - do lots of highway expansion projects for surveying/engineering firms but I charge accordingly, like you.  I was trying to see if you were putting apples with oranges and you were. 
But if people start doing big projects for pennies it will affect you - because like you they may steer more and more towards them - didn't say they were qualified to do them - but maybe they will be steered in that direction because of what is going in the industry.
