I completely agree with you, but I would put it into even stronger terms. Paid fast lanes are not an experiment worth performing, in the hope that ISPs pass the savings down to consumers. The ISPs have absolutely zero incentive to pass the savings onto consumers when they have no real competition. Any free-market thinker should recognize this to be self-evident, so if they really want to give ISPs the freedom to offer paid fast-lanes, then they have to solve the competition problem first.
