Sure, I could blow up my entire collection and have a great silver tournament team using all my 102 perfects. But then what of my main roster?
I have to pick between having one single good team that can only play in tournaments, or a balanced team that can play in any era's tourneys and hunt down promotions?
Or go broke and have both. My mortgage payments would be pissed.

I had that same decision...either punt league to go all in on tournaments, or punt being competitive in tournament play to chase promotions. The decision was an easy one for me early on since I really don't care about league all that much since I had achieved my goal of not getting shutout in league titles like I did last cycle.
Once I was done being good but not great in silver I switched to diamond tournaments and realized I could still post a reasonably competitive league team with an oops no perfects strategy. It hung around in diamond/gold for awhile but now has gone back down since I stopped playing.
As for that 5-time PeL champion Daves, I think you're talking about the Newton Sloths? I figure if you have the points/money, flaunt it. I don't begrudge them one bit. Not just because they are a fellow HotL group member as I am, but they win their fair share of dailies and weeklies so they can sell and re-invest. Fair play when you have the skill to win big tournaments on a regular basis, then be able to pivot in the market smoothly to make the points. Gotta do what you gotta do to maintain the success. Long may it last (particularly since I'll never make it back to PeL in any cycle. PT21 was my last time in PeL and it was only for 2 weeks).
