Now this guy works for ME......but as a GC...I've learned through the years that our subcontractors ARE more important to us...than we are to them. I stand to lose nothing, business-wise, if I don't go. I don't want to paint the wrong picture, here.

He's offering this as a gesture. He won't be offended if I decline. I don't want to pass this off as something I "NEED" to do.
