That makes sense Mag. Can I ask what specifics define "the perfect provider" thus-be the reason you are willing to start at the top?

3) Easy, timely communication. When I do a PM or request on p411 two days before the requested date and I don't get a response until five days after that date, I move on.
4) On time. If I schedule an hour, that often means I have to be somewhere else after the session. If the provider falls asleep on the couch and I only get 40 minutes, I don't feel they deserve the full payment. At the same time I feel awkward initiating a conversation about a reduced payment. My last regular had no problem keeping the entire fee as did her next potential replacement.
5) Quality of services provided of course, details not provided.
Experienced hobbyists will tell me that all those are possible without paying a premium, but I believe my odds are better starting at the top. My schedule limits my hobby time, not dollars. After a couple of years of experiences, some rather aggravating, I try to avoid wasting an appointment opportunity more so than wasting dollars.
I'm pretty sure this list has common elements for a large percentage of hobbyists. If a provider offered all these, they could charge above average and get repeat business. Some learn the concept of value, up their game and then raise their rates and get guys complaining about them having GPS on the board.
