The number of cuts a chapter has to make during formal rush doesn't have anything to do with being at total (or not). All those going through formal recruitment would have the same shot at the houses they want.
I do agree that lowering total prevents COB. However, COB wears a chapter out, particularly if all chapters on a campus are forced to do it because they can't reach total (or close) in formal rush. Inter/National HDQs are going to press their chapters to get to total even if total is 75 and they have 72. The benefits to not having to COB as a campus for a whole semester would outweigh the benefits of being able to seek out those who are not "natural joiners" IMO.
