Wouldn't make a bit of difference, Bill.  

I could turn my existing "limited" station over to any of several local
operators for CQWW (N0AT, K0SR are a couple who come to mind) while I
operated the super-station at W0AIH.  They'd still beat me hands down,
every time.

WRTC is an interesting sideshow, designed to showcase the talents of a
narrow slice of our elite compatriots by attempting to construct
artificially 'equal' operating situations for them.  Your "limited"
category couldn't be an equalizer of that same sort; it could only set an
upper limit which ultimately would stifle the spirit of competition.
