I dunno. Even pretty weak models can be decently performant, and 9/10 the performance for 1/10 the price means 10x the output, and for a lot of stuff that quality difference dosent really matter. Considering even sota models are trash, slightly worse dosent really make that much difference.

You've lost me.
