Game show fandom arguments ("No one except YOU notices that! tee hee) aside, why haven't the wedges been changed for so long? Wouldn't hurt to see a $650 or $850 space out there, or more spaces >$1000.

2 reasons:
1: It'll cost money (though, I don't think it'll be a budget breaker, nevertheless...)
2: Are the general WOF viewers complaining? Not at all, only the hardcore pro-WOF GS fans and the general Wheel loons (heh), would be inclined to say anything.
However, it is my hope that for their 25th syndie anniversary, Friedman and the gang will change up the configs a bit. This doesn't necessarily mean increasing the budget, for those that would be concerned, but I, for example, wouldn't mind seeing the reemergence of the 1500 space on the Wheel, especially in Round 4, possibly even a 2k or 2500 space instead. Also, any way to reduce the bevy of 300 dollar spaces (maybe with an additional underused 350, 450, 550, or 700, as opposed to 650 or 850) would be nice.
However, I'm not holding my breath...

I agree that there should be $1000 or $1500, but I also believe there should be amounts less than the cost of a vowel. Bring back $150, $100, even $50, or my personal favorite $175. I felt the problem with the Goen wheel wasn't the presence of $50 and $75, but that the entire wheel was cheap. There's nothing wrong with a few low numbers, offset by a couple of raised amounts.
