"bait and switch"? It's worth it for levels F-D? So basically gauntlet starts with 6 iron coins /sow on level F to 4.5/sow (9ic/2sow) to 4/sow (12ic/3sow), to 4/sow (16ic/5sow)... The least you can get from arena is 10/sow (hell even make it 8/sow).
So basically you're saying that 6>10... makes perfect sense.
