Is it worth trying to convince Thai immigration to accept the 65k monthly income for O-A visa extension instead of the 800k route?

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have just returned from Laos back into Thailand and got my last one year stamp from my O-A visa. Happy days! We went straight to immigration in Mukdahan to do the TM30 and while I was there I asked about proof of funds for next year if I extend. The two IO's only mentioned the 800k route and not the 65k monthly route. I was hoping to start the monthly 65k's this month but not sure it is worth it now. My question is : Am I correct in assuming it's not worth trying to convince them otherwise? Just do as they say next year if I extend?
