Hi Rich,

Well, it depends on the contest and whether or not you use spots.

I don't use spots.  I can imagine that 4 hours of spots in the bandmap 
would look pretty silly.

In domestic contests such as NAQP on Sunday afternoon there are lots of 
guys who have been in the same place for hours.  It's sure nice to be 
able to skip over them without waiting for half a Q.  This can make 
quite a difference to S&P rate.
