What I got sometimes was "I want this to be a extended contest, for it's far easier that way to end with a complete or major victory".
And indeed, it's very hard to reach this level with a simple contest. We did some contest using both methods and is was not very satisfying. The choice is "spend one HP to get the victory you want from an SC" or "go into EC mode, and end with a satisfactory end, without burning any HP". :(
I had to veto an EC once or twice because of this, because one player wanted to do only EC.
Maybe we did something wrong? Taking the same TNs and such, the result was very often a better victory in EC than in SC.
