Can confirm — @Ben1989, the profile-quality point deserves more attention than it gets.
When evaluating the alternatives is the issue, the quality of your first message does more for how many replies you get in a week than the boost you paid for.
What nobody mentions is that the photo verification step treats a fifty-mile radius as a suggestion — and nobody mentions it when they talk about evaluating the alternatives.
