They have pretty good stuff on PS too. Remember, FTP takes 1 cent off for every 15 cents. That means at 90 cents, they take off 5 cents. PokerStars does not take off a rake until the pot reaches 1 dollar (and it will continue to only take rake when it reaches the dollar) and this rake is 5 cents. This means that you may be paying 5 cents off per pot when PS would not take any. Also, for example, a pot of $2.70 would be taking $.15 at FTP while taking only $.10 at PokerStars (since it did not yet reach the $3 mark). At the micro level, this is big.
