Do the math.  The break-even point for 5%+$0.05 as opposed to 2.9%+$0.30
is when 2.1% amount to $0.25, namely $11.90.  The fee for $20 will
already be $1.05 rather than $0.88, for $50 it will be $2.55 rather than
$1.75.  With the current contribution structure, a change would not
really be prudent.  That makes more sense if you have a large number of
casual small contributors.
