Contraband Cargo reward structure does not make sense

My point in all this is that the reward structure for Contraband Cargo is incongruous with all other equivalent resource event reward structures in this game in that there is not a clear, unequivocal better tier out of the top 2 tiers and that is simply wrong as players have to decide between two incomparable sets of rewards. Gorem’s poll and numerous forum and Reddit threads demonstrate this entirely artificial dichotomy and the frustration this generates. To me it makes little sense .
