It is my opinion that there is no need to alter a track to get attention, especially since everyone in Florida is watching and preparing anyway. The NHC in my opinion is above that, and their only concern is getting right as best as they can. The ramifications for anything other than that are too great.
Don't forget, there are models that are further east-the GFS has been persistantly east. On the sat pics I watch, I overlay the forecast position, and the actual track has been ever so slightly NE of forecast anyway.
