This sounds like the "Adding Cleric and Wizard levels to beat SR" argument in different clothes.  Character level is not arbitrary; it's merely abstract.  It represents the characters's competence.  The amount of wealth sacrificed is immaterial; whether you have 20 gp or 2000 gp, the question is what you do with it.  The idea of some cosmic force accounting how much wealth the character has discarded and rewarding him accordingly his ludicrous.</blockquote>
