Would you rather be one of, if not the best 4.0 in your state or an average 4.5?

If you're one of the best 4's in the state, I'd think you're on your way to being an average 4.5.

There - best of both worlds....

Seriously, I'd take the higher rating.

Best 4.0 in your state for me. You always want to be the big fish in the small pond. You can use that title as a stepping stone into the next level.

Whats the difference? My observation is that there is a lot of overlap between the levels that a very strong 4.0 could likely beat most middle 4.5's 50% of the time. So if the question is would I rather win more or have tougher competition, I'll always opt for the later.
