The other thing that has a huge positive impact onto funding SMT's will be the lack of having to divest your SteemPower to be able to invest in these projects.

This is the other reason to power up of course as, one doesn't have to divest stem to earn on it either. These kinds of things make Steem a no-brainer yet, still people struggle to grasp what this means. combine it with all of the drops likely and less than brains (whatever that is) are needed to make the decision.
