What you would do if plan checker disagree ASCE7-10

[JunZ]

I have a soft story upgrade project (wood framing) including the in plane shear wall offset design. Based on ASCE7-10 3rd print, it indicates I don't have to design the connections with overstrength factor, but for sure the BEAM and column need to be designed with overstrength factor. However, our local DBI plan checker told me I had to design the connection with the Omega factor, and I told him my interpretation of the new ASCE7-10 commentary was the connection doesn't need Omega factor, and he refused to read what I highlight here. 

What is you opinion on this?

If using overstrength factor gives conservative connection design, I am going to use it and nobody loses.

Figure C12.3-5 seems to explain it pretty well that the connections don't need overstrength in this case.

What did you end up doing? Just curious.
