The only catch is cost: virtually all arbitrations are shared cost (50/50) with no costs awarded at the end of the proceeding. Can't see that costing you less than $1500 to $2000 by the time writing's included. Probably not worth going through with it, but you can always apply for it to see if that prompts them into offering you something (they're on for the same costs plus $400/hr minimum for a lawyer).
