The problem with MTTs is when you cash but don't get in say the top 5 or 6 (or at least FT). You need to get deep into the $$$ to get significantly more than your BI. Just cashing is not good enough.
 
As for the BR management, the larger the field the less percent of your BR you can risk. Lets say your BR is $300 and you do well in 1 or 2 table SnGs at the $10 games. If you can regularly cash but don't win often you may have a positive ROI. For a big MTT you'd only want to risk maybe 1 or 2% of your BR so that you can be aggressive near the money and not worry about bubbling out. (Note the example of ATTILIO, AVE BI=$16 Even with a big win he didn't move up.) 
 
In large MTTs those regular cashes just don't add up to enough unless you go deep into the $$$. For instance, in the PS 180 placing 10-18th pays a little less than 2X your buy in. This means a 50% in the money rate is a loser unless you go deep sometimes. These are relatively flat payouts. In the really big fields it's much worse. I just looked at a 650 field; pays 63. Even tenth in that pays only about 6.5 times the buyin. You have to get half way up the money ladder,28-36 to even get 2 X your BI. Can you do that 50% of the time? 
 
The answer I found is to almost ignore the bubble when just squeakin' in only gives you so little return. You've got to aim for the Final Table or at least a payout of lets say 5-6 times the buy-in. So in that 180 man your aiming at 7th or better. Any less than FT is not a cash, just a consolation prize.
 
I hope this helps:)
