keep giving away compensation like this you might tempt people to take you down more often.... Glad things worked out for you and Glad to see you took some advice ;-)
I'd call it "good PIAR" rather. Tactically good Sedo decision (and advertisement?!?) toward (not against) this relatively small community of domainers. Smaller loss then not giving any compensation. And still not obligatory for Sedo in case of potential next attack. Just a good move.
