[CQ-Contest] SS SO Unlimited question

[tgstewart at pepco.com]

Yeah, SOA is a ridiculous category for SS.  Much worse than SOA in WPX.  I'll
predict that the SOA entry in SS NEVER wins a division.

Tidbit from ARRL:

  "The Awards Committee has considered and accepted several
   recommendations from the Contest Advisory Committee which
   will affect the annual November Sweepstakes.  Effective with
   the 1999 running of this event:

   1.  A single operator unlimited category is added.  This
   category allows for single operators to use Packet in the
   contest.  There is no power differentiation in this category."

Question: (Serious!)

Since there is such a small number of multipliers (79 last time
I looked) and they only "count" once (you get no additional mult
for working them on additional bands) why would a SO station use
packet in SS?
