For a lot of smaller users - it is becoming less competitive to remain on Bitfinex.  During stable times (as now) the profitability of trading goes to zero with fees of the current size, and that serves no one.  If liquidity remains low and fees high, I would expect you to make less overall in commissions.   If you want to maximize profit for yourselves in the current environment, consider lowering fees.

Also, with regard to the order book change:  I think the price standardization makes sense, but the order source should remain.  Firstly, the UI makes no sense now if they all show "BFX", but more importantly there is different information in a BFX vs STAMP order.  I can statistically assume a likelihood of a leveraged position if it is coming from BFX and that factors into my estimation of the market psychology.
