GPII isn't coming here for the tax MLE under any circumstances.
It depends. It's possible they could have the bigger MLE, because in theory they could try to give away a pile of salary, to get far enough below the apron to allow them to use the bigger MLE and still be below that 155M-ish line. Trades, in theory, could ratchet down their salary total, especially bigger ones.
But the most likely scenario (and imo likelier by a lot) is that they will be a txMLE team.
