If you play on
pokerstars 1.10 Mtt would be great, about 10 chances to grab up to possible over 1K $. That its my style I play very few tourneys but with maximum focus, maybe after some good tour Im off for 2-3 days. Time to reconnect to myself.
Playing those 0.25 and 0.50 and wining 2-3 $ for me is spending time, maybe not for everyone.
Sure in that kind of tours you have bigger chances to get to the first few players and take some low but sweet cash.
Me personal want to take "risk", losing 1$ is not a big lose, but improving your game in MTT is much more worth. When you find yourself in a difficult situation to decide do you are going all in or fold, and getting information from those players, will tell you what you did it wrong or good at that moment.
Playing with more people is of course more difficult but you will learn a lot of that and get better in the future. Don't eliminate the chance for you getting maybe over 500$ in just one tour, so after all is worth the money you spend on it.
Im speaking like this if you are good enough to win back 15$ if you lose it all let say 10 tours without ITM, if you are not so good then stay away, because if you cant win from 45/90 players then for sure you cant with 6K players entering those "Big/Hot" tours. Good luck
