Deep/Ante Vs. Standard/Zoom

A year ago i played Deep/Ante quite extensively and have lost many of the HH from that period ... 

I have recently been playing exclusively ZOOM and running 40bi below EV 70K sample ...

i have made several assumptions when comparing the two structures, although much of the data from the ante games like said is gone .... 

- playing deep/ante you are more insulated from "how you are running" due to deeper stacks that get in less often

- the rake has a lesser impact on the game .. making it more profitable ... making it less variant ... allowing you to play higher in terms of units required and risk of ruin

- the potential skill advantage is greater 

You thoughts on my assumptions .... agree/disagree .... also what are some potential drawbacks or things i may be missing .... as i have not played any volume of these deep games in almost a year 

Thanks

*playing deep/ante you are more insulated from "how you are running" due to deeper stacks that get in less often

-i've seen some players running 100bi below ev at deep ante games

 *the rake has a lesser impact on the game .. making it more profitable ... making it less variant ... allowing you to play higher in terms of units required and risk of ruin

-the rakeback is also higher plus i don't think deep ante's are less variant because you'll play fewer hands for sure. Ofc you can bumhunt deep ante games something you can't do at zoom because u are forced to play everybody so i guess thats a - for zoom (?)

* the potential skill advantage is greater 

I think the skill advantage is greater in deep ante games if u really know how to play deep stacked because not to many players are good at that.

thanks crakl .... shocked to hear the 100bi below ev .... but I guess it takes 2 strong hands to get in there same as any format ..... would you agree then that a more profitable slash less unprofitable  red line is more attainable there then .... thanks
