Looks like the HOBO organization is in favor of many of the things I believe, However, I like the 10 foot drawdown, for at least three reasons.

1) My family enjoys building a bonfire on the beach, especially on cool nights. But we can't do this until the level drops to about 483. So a level that never dropped below 485 would end a family tradition that spans many decades and at least four generations.

2) I like to take walks along the shoreline. Usually I can do this only in the winter, but a 485 limit will make this much harder to do.

3) I have a close friend who builds piers and docks. He almost always needs the water to be down at least 8 feet to do a proper job on the stationary piers, and sometimes he says that 8 feet is cutting it close, and 10 is much better. Since this is his job, this could be considered an economic concern, unless you're only concerned about your personal economics.

Thanks for the answer though, now I can save my money and put it towards something useful.
