if there are really infinitely many copies of you then your decision makes no difference, but if there are merely very many, then there is a sensible way in which a good decision increases the total goodness/badness ratio of the multiverse.

I don't see that it matters either way, provided there is a probability distribution over the set (finite or infinite) that gives your subjective experience. Can you explain your reasoning more?
