Ok thanks to everybody so far. You have all made some excellent points and arguments.
I still think my strongest argument is the quality one.
I guess I want more resolution for my designs, and I am going to fight for that right. I can't believe anybody thinks 800 looks nicer than 1000
I feel 1000 wide will increase my sales and by the sounds of it will not restrict acceptance of my new free sites to the majority of link sites. And I believe if we all start doing this then the last few link sites will change their rules to match the demand for more detail.
