I didn't vote in the poll, and I don't have a strong opinion, but I'll try to present the case for keeping payroll budgets visible.
For one thing, the current system has worked fine for 35+ seasons, so there's no harm in staying with the status quo. For another, the current system is not without it's charm. The way I see it, there is some strategy involved in the current system that would vanish if it were changed. Right now, if an IFA appears at the beginning of the season, I calculate who has enough prospect money to outbid me and use that to decide what to do. So if a decent Venezuelan RF prospect appears, and three people have more money than me, I take a look at each one, check their Intl budgets to see if they're likely to have spotted him, and make a decision on what to do. Maybe I'll bid a few million and hope they don't want him. Maybe I'll go all-in on this guy. Or maybe I'll just bid $20 million in the hopes that I'll force the guy who does sign him to lose all his money. With a little luck, I can use the system to my advantage. Sometimes people stay out of the IFA bidding because they know others have more money, and I can get a good prospect for $5-6 million and still have some money for a more expensive one later.
If you take away the information about budgets, everyone will be bidding blind. I can see this creatin a situation where every IFA goes for a ton of money and some of the subtlety will be lost.
I'm not going to cry if the budgets change, and maybe I could be convinced to like it the way. But I don't think it's 100% obvious that all budgets need to be hidden.
