It will always be perplexing to me, the value that is placed on money, the rationality of its worth based solely on what you MIGHT procure with it. You might say it makes the world go 'round, you might say that time is money, but in the end, the intrinsic value can and will ultimately lie within the eye of the beholder.
A sound thought would be, as an EE or aspiring, of the many things to consider, accuracy and safety should inevitably rise to the top.
One could make an equation of such a topic.
Pausing to consider the Essergy, in an attempt to add plausibility or insight to the opinion of the beholder, we still find a negligible array or disqualifying factors, one of the many being Exergy and if you were to consider only the small environmental impacts. We can only conclude that the qualification process has not been 'met' based solely on the factors that an EE or similar should consider when making such a comparison. If you were to factor in safety, manufacturing processes/tolerance/control, accuracy, not to mention the often overlooked "time fooling with this, in a verification aspect", then we can ultimately conclude / make an informed decision.
If you want to add ~$10 to the list of qualifying factors, of the little we find, then I suggest you examine what sort of intrinsic value that Secretary Alexander Hamilton holds in comparison to the aforementioned, after all, it lies within the eye of the beholder.
