I always look at things like this with $ in mind as I'm sure most are. After reading this, it seems most of the surfers using the 8x6 average about around 20%. Just put it in simple numbers and then make the choice. If you are luckly enough to pull in say 10k a year from a site then roughly 2k of that is from 8x6 sufers. Would you risk 20% of your profit for more ad space that may or may not pay off? If it does, is it going to equal the 20% you might have pissed off? If you just wait 1 or 2 years then maybe you can go for it, but it just seems like a big risk to me, when there is roughly a standard already.
