DA I mean, just speaking for myself, I'd rather get 1K of badfic than 5K of badfic. Less to read through to comment on!

I think the other reason for the comparison is time. If someone has a set amount of time, they could either choose to just write and gift me 5K of unedited, un-beta'd work, or spend time writing 1K and then get that 1K edited and beta'd. Odds are that the 1K gift would be better (or at least less SPAG-y), even though the same writer created both gifts and the same amount of time may have been spent overall.
