If you match, you'll forget about the fee.

One of the good things about the match is that you either match or you don't. Having to decide between Offer A or Offer B is actually more stressful. When i went through the process I felt like I was on, "Let's Make A Deal!!" because I had Offer A, Offer B, or roll the dice with the Match. I was lucky that my choices were all great options, so I just went with my gut.

ps. I can definitely see why some sites (UCLA, Hopkins, etc) have dropped out of the match in the last couple of years, as they can poach people before they submit their final rankings. Poaching definitely can pay off for those involved.
