Why are they building the model as nickel quote, penny execution?

When all exchanges 'upgrade' to that model, you still may not get best national price.

You may want to sell and ask for price improvement. It goes to BOX, where the bid is the same as national best, $3.00 and someone has $3.01 for price improvement. Someone at CBOE could have the same 3.00 bid, but allow 3.02 for price improvement.

Why is this model superior to going to penny increments?

ps: Also, any opinions on when customer bids / asks will be required to be represented as they are in equities? I'm so tired of seeing bid / ask at 3.00/3.10 and I submit a sell at 3.05 and it sits there while there are continued prints at 3.10 and the bid / ask never moves.
