That makes sense. It implies that we wouldn't find ourselves using different object-level decision theories in different situations.
(But is it possible to construct a problem analogous to Newcomb's on which EDT loses? If so it seems we would need different object-level DTs after all.)
The Smoking Lesion?
As I wrote elsewhere in this thread, see the Newcomb's variant with transparent boxes, or Parfit's Hitchhiker.
