I'll fall in line with TOO55 and 165. I was nationally qualified for 3 years in a row back in my day(never thought that phrase would be useful), but would be absolutely stomped into the ground at a junior show. It makes sense to throw your trunks in the ring on a local, state, or even regional show if you're consistently placing top 2-3. I don't see any logic or point to spend the money, time, and travel to head to a national show that you know you're not ready for. Unless it's just the point of telling people you're "headed to nationals" for a few months. If so, fair enough. Have at it.
