Benefits of being pro - conti Europcar

Someone made the point somewhere ( source forgotten) that Europcar going down to pro -conti may be a good thing as the smaller team can be more focused on races rather than spreading themselves too thinly.
I don't think you would bet against them getting a place at the Paris - Nice , Tour and Dauphine and probably Giro ?
What would be the benefits of staying world tour - and what is the difference in budgets/income

But if you're a french team that issue is negated somewhat, esp if you've got some top riders. Cofidis tick along quite nicely at Pro-Conti right?
MTN arguably got shafted last year by not getting a Giro invite, though they did get Vuelta.
it takes a lot of money to comply with all the WT regulations and a lot of European Teams can get as much exposure for their sponsors markets but spend far less money at Pro-Conti...
