Unless you think WBE offers an order of magnitude greater benefit than FAI, you should favor spending more on FAI.

No, all that matters is that the increase in utility by increasing WBE funding is greater than an increase in utility by increasing FAI funding. If neither has hit diminishing returns then the amount of current funding is irrelevant to this calculation.
