Jonathan,
First of all can you clarify the circumstances of Naiditsch's participation? I just checked and it's not April Fool's Day. If you are getting a top player like that in then the prize fund should be dictated by what it takes to get a 2700 to play?
This has the potential to be one of the biggest events on the Scottish calendar so I would say big entry fee (min. £30) and big prize money. Like Robin says though the question is how many entries do you want/will you get. Are people interested?
