The CapEx versus OpEx game doesn't make as much difference with depreciating assets because you balance the initial expense against the asset value you are depreciating and so you spread the cost in your P&L over the time it takes to depreciate the value down to 0. So the balance between OpEx and CapEx is more which is better value for the business. Appreciating assets like building of course have a different affect on the P&L, but then so do the loans you take out to finance them.
