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."?
