oh, and another thing is that the rake in sngs becomes a serious bitch as you increase stakes. When you have like 30% roi in micro stakes the rake doesn't matter as much, but when you have maybe 10% roi or less at higher stakes, the rake you pay is close to your profit, and more than in many cases. 
 
Granted, you can have a much higher BB/100 in micro cash games than in higher stakes, but the higher stakes you play the lower the relative rake you are paying seeing as it is capped at 1/2/3$$ depending on wether your are hu/6max/fr for most sites. You aren't paying as much relative rake if you are playing 6 max NL400, where the rake is capped for all decent pots than in a 215$ sng etc, where you may only have a $10/game average profit.
 
Taken to an extreme, if you are playing NL5k, and only paying $2 rake/hand, then the rake really isn't that big of a deal. Playing 2k sngs and paying $100? a game, when your edge is extremely small and your ROI is very low, is, i suspect, alot harder to grind out a good profit.
