That seems entirely logical if you:

* need the ability to stop paying the person

* have a duty-cycle lower than 83% on the contractor over the next 10 years

Paying a premium for flexibility is pretty standard business practice. I suppose I’m somewhat surprised the gap is merely 20%. With the triple-lock etc. in place I think that’s a screaming deal and I would take on as many substitutions as possible.
