I totally agree with this.  But here's a couple more points:
 
1) I've seen Storm say in effect "The money doesn't matter" a few times.  If that's true, then the stakes level shouldn't matter either.  Whether it's .01/.02 or 100/200, it shouldn't matter if the money doesn't.  When Storm says $25NL is "not enjoyable", I think he means the wins aren't large enough so he has to open more tables to win more money but loses his cognitive edge that way.  If the money didn't matter, then $25NL WOULD be just as enjoyable.
 
2) He says his thought process at lower limits is "just too much".  I think he misunderstands "too much" as being "different".  To be a good overall poker player, one must be able to feel comfortable at ANY stakes within their bankroll and different stakes take different approaches.  What if he loses $3900 of his $4k and has to play on a $100 BR?  Is he going to give up the game since he is not comfortable playing the lower stakes?  Or just let his game rot while he saves his money again to play higher stakes?  To me, "comfort" equals "winning".  Even though he says he can "beat the lower stakes", I think his uncomfortability is in his inconsistent winning at these stakes.  And that's a bad feeling to take with you to the higher stakes. 
 
Storm, sorry to be blunt here.  But when you spill your life like this here on the forum, you have to expect to get hammered by folks who disagree.  You had to have learned this after the last announcement you made about using your wife's account to avoid railers.  I still hope it all works out for you.
