Johnny,
Greg is right as outside winning the 100K, the Ultimate should be next in line.
IMO, you have to look at it in the simplest of terms.
Who deserves more recognition, a guy who wins his local league at $50 entry, or a guy who wins his NFFC Main league at $1,300? (both 14 team leagues)
Hopefully you said that the NFFC deserves more, and therefore, a $5K entry would deserve even more than a "regular" Main entry, right?
I see your point that some people can't afford to enter (it would currently be difficult for me as a teacher), but you have to think that MOST people who are willing to throw down 5K "know what they are doing". Now maybe there are exceptions to the rule, but the same could be said about the NFFC Main.
As far as seeing the picks the day before, do you REALLY think that the people entering the Ultimate have no idea where people will get picked before the Main??

Plus, the Main is so different in almost EVERY draft, that it doesn't make a bit of difference IMO.
Bottom line is you are still trying to defeat 13 other people, and if you are willing to throw down more cash, then you should reap the rewards if you are successful.
