Clerkship Bonus Movement?

Does anyone have information on firms that have privately matched or increased federal appellate clerkship bonuses in response to Quinn Emmanuel going to $105k? Firms that I know of that are publicly offering in the $100k range are:
Hueston Hennigan ($105k)
Eimer Stahl ($100k)
Fish & Richardson ($100k)
Susman Godfrey (“at least” $80k + $25k signing bonus)

I’m wondering about similar litigation centric firms (e.g., Gibson Dunn, Boies Schiller, Bartlit Beck) and credible information on firms that publicize $50k going higher.

I've heard of many firms (not just boutiques) in NY/BOS giving closer to $70-75k for one clerkship, $80-$90k for two clerkships. While firms aren't publicizing it, it seems to be a common trend among larger firms.

Old market is still market, but there is some room to negotiate -- e.g., a firm might match an offer, or at least raise their offer, if you have a competing offer. But YMMV.

Can you name any of these firms?
