No. Because it's never been done before. We'll just have to wait and see.
But: for this particular flight, SpaceX claims to have spent 4 months in refurb, and it seems to have been very thorough. Inside information suggests that a lot of this was in upgrading things to current spec. Four months is already a significant time savings on production, which is currently said to be about a year.
I find it hard to believe that reflying hardware won't be economical. But NASA's failure to do so with Shuttle seems to have broken people's brains in this area.
