The key is to find out what level of play gives you the comps that you want.
If $30,000 gets you an offer that includes things that do not appeal to you, then go ahead and reduce your level of play.
However, if $30,000 gets you offers that meet your needs, then reducing your play by 50% may in turn reduce the level of offers that you get. (You might want to try reducing your play by 25% to see if you still get the same offer.)
