Actually, that sort of leads to a really cool idea that would be cheaper than new species and fits in with the whole Monster Hunter Tri " more variety from the same hunts" philosophy. Randomly give monsters extra moves / combos with more on higher ranks. It would be a lot more fun grinding when you're not sure exactly how hard the monster will be.

But I agree with both. I'd rather have a new monster than a subspecies, but the little variety of subspecies is better than no variety at all.
