You have to remember, getting to that level is going to be hard for most, and so only few will have that feature for a long time.

That's true enough.

On an somewhat related note, I see that the reputation for Elites will stay the same as people who are registered. I'd probably suggest it be something like for every tier up, you'd get raised one extra reputation power (i.e. Elite +2, S. Elite +3, etc.)
