Partitioned Freeze-out as a re-buy alternative?

I would like some input about this idea I have to wean our group off of a full rebuy tournament to more of a Freeze-out form.

$4 buy-in (low-stakes) gets 10,000 chips, but you can partition them in 2500 chunks.

For example; Joe wants the full 10,000 chips, Fred wants his chips in 4x2500 chunks, and I want 5000 to start with.

Joe can't get any more chips, but at any time (not during an active hand) Fred can get another chunk of his initial 10,000. Basically this is letting crazy players take some of their chips out of play and use it as a "safety net."

After an hour of play, a 2500-chip add-on will be offered and anyone's extra chips get distributed.

I'm rambling... what are some strategic advantages/disadvantages for types of play?
