I understand, like I said in my prev. post, how you feel. Dominion is nothing like the Cup as far as looks. The Cup by far is a nicer design and I much rather have a Cup ARP than Dominion, but Fowler is one of the top 10 rookies from this years crop, IMO. His Dominion ARP will sell for more than his CUP(which is a redemption and is selling between $75-$100 range). Collectors love the /99 RCs and pay premiums to have one. You may not get $400 for it but I could easily see getting in the $200-250 range for it.
Also look at it this way, how many people you think are going to be upset when opening this product and get a box like yours with a /199 RC that's just auto's instead of a /99. $20 rookie card for a product that you pay $400 is not cool.
On another note it sucks that Panini would put in 3 base cards in a box. From what I understood they were only supposed to have a max of 2 base per box, and like you said way too many parallels.
