ss_collins, I think you'd better lay out your argument before you get anyone else's back up!

I think each class will get stronger and better defined:

LMP1: works entries vs. strong privateers, healthy interest from manufacturers but not with so much money that it destroys the field.

LMP2: teams stepping up from GTs to run quick, reliable, affordable customer LMPs from Porsche, Lola, Courage etc.

GT1: works entries from manufacturers keen to see a direct link between product and race car. Backup up by wealthy private teams running older cars (C5R, 550 etc)

GT2: Same as it ever was, but with potential manufacturer entry (Nissan?)

Each is strong enough, and none are a threat to P1 as the top class, (even GT1 with its manufacturers) given that they all serve different purposes.

This class differentiation is only aided by the continued growth of the LMES.
