Now I see what your point was... 0-4 if you drop all 4 vs. 2-6 if you take all 4 and win the expected 1/4. If you do a little research you'll notice that the trailer's 2-cube basic takepoint (if he just takes and never redoubles) is generally higher for the trailer than the leader. This is true for G11, Snowie's, and Trice's latest. If the basic takepoint was 25% then the trailer's MWC at 0-4 and 2-6 would be identical.
