Tried quoting 30% more to two new academy clients this month

I split my next two quotes instead of doing what I normally do and rounding down to keep everyone comfortable. First one went out 30% above my usual day rate with a one-page outline of what changes at that price. Second one stays at the old rate as my control. So far the expensive quote is sitting unanswered and the cheap one replied in a day, which tells me nothing yet except that I hate waiting.
