it depends on your playstyle. from the looks of it, you seem relatively successful at SnGs atm. are you finishing just ITM? lots of 4th place finishes? 1st place finishes? whats your ROI%?

i'm not quite sure, but i think the general profit ladder is as follows:

SnG<Ring<MTT
(depending on your ROI in SnGs, however, it can be quickly flipped to...)
Ring<SnG<MTT

the way i look at it is.....i think we all strive to become a MTT winner someday. personally, i feel SnG offers alot of beneficial training for MTTs you may play in the future. just that alone should justifiy accepting a lower profit to pay for your "learning tax". there are still plenty of great players that choose to play ring, however, so it really comes down to which one you enjoy more.

also, i would recommend for you to read the sticky "Newbie's Circle of Death" in the beginner section - just food for thought.
