Yeah that's the thing, it's hard to say how much you are bogged down. As time goes on the value of the 1.5x multiplier increases in value, but then you also run the risk of massive spaghetti code (more or less, depends on what the genie considers good).

I don't know if there's great value in trying to figure out if you would quantitatively get ahead though. I think the value is in just realizing that some groups are inclined to perhaps take that risk, and some groups are not.
