I think I need some @BGinGA help here.

I want to acquire a new tournament set but one of the requirements of my group is that there must be T5s (they don't like the blinds starting at anything other than 5-10).

I'm wondering what the optimal number of chips would be for 10 people with the breakdown including T5s. We normally play 200BB, but sometimes mix it up with 400BB deep stacks.

I'm thinking starting stacks of 15/9/2/1 so I could potentially get away with a set of 300 chips (for 200BB scenario)
T5 - 150
T25 - 90
T100 - 50
T500 - 10

But the above wouldn't be able to handle the 400BB scenario.

To add another T1000 to everyone, I would make the starting stacks either 15/9/7/2 (60 more chips) or 15/9/2/3 (20 more chips).

T5 - 150
T25 - 90
T100 - 50
T500 - 30

or

T5 - 150
T25 - 90
T100 - 100
T500 - 20

Thoughts?
 
General philosophy is to keep the first two denoms the same numbers in starting stacks.

So for a T2k maybe

10 x 5 = 50
10 x 25 = 250
7 x 100 = 700
2 x 500 = 1k.

Ditch the 500’ss to start for a 1k stack.

Multiply that by the number of entries expected

Im not an expert in T5 tourneys. Don’t prefer them, so maybe BG or others can chim in.
 
So then I would need...

T5 - 100
T25 - 100
T100 - 100 (70 + 30 for color-ups of the T5/T25 -- assuming I color up all of them)
T500 - 20 (which is optional for T2k tourney)

Or do I mix T100s and T500s for color ups?

I run T2k tourneys and lately I've used T500 chip for all my color ups. Works just fine. Only problem I see for you is if you don't have 10 players you won't have enough T5 chips to cover the T500. Unless you colored up a couple greens at the same time.

In the past I've colored up the T5s chips with T100s and T25s with T500s.
