About to order a new set. T100 based. 1 table is the plan (8 max). I could do fine with 350-400 chips, but I might as well get 500 chips as the cost differential is tiny for the actual chips due to the price per chip once you hit 500 chips. Also the 400 chip set cage/case options are very limited. Just to save 30 bucks..
The shipping to Norway is very high, regardless of chip count.
So what breakdown would you do?
We like to have more chips, like @Mr Winberg ^^ It makes our games run smoother with less change making, even though I'm always fast to change when people need to. Also having more chips is fun for most. The usual argument against having more than you really need, is usually from a financial optimal standpoint, but here I have more chips than I really need.
The reason for the start stack is as this will produce reasonable play with the T25Ks and T5Ks alone at the end. (with around 18% T25Ks, which is a nice spot (15-20%) for when you are down to two denoms). Also proper deep stacks to be forgiving for new players and give a real sense of deep stack play at the early levels. No addons or re-buys anymore.

Spares will be used for when some get damaged/send sample sets to those who want etc.
Suggestions for what to do with the rest to reach 500?
Some adjustments to allow other tournaments (type end of year grand tournament with higher stacks?) Or something like that.. Or maybe to allow a tight stacked two table 12 player tournament to happen? (doubtful, but you never know I guess..).
