This is explicitly being pitched as a fee increase, so certain numbers will necessarily need to be higher. Would it be more palatable to phrase it as "we're keeping the existing fee structure, but early bird registration increases to $875 while standard registration increases to $1000. Also, we're introducing an exceptional 'super early bird' price of $700 that is available to those participants who can commit to attend 7 weeks in advance of the meeting."?
A couple of interactions about meeting fees ago, someone made the point that $1000 US was a common point where additional approvals are required. If people are in that situation, they have more incentive than others to register early at $700. Even the standard rate plus VAT puts you over $1000, doesn't it?
