I would preface that with "For your particular situation,". There are a lot of situations where it can be very valuable to have something come "today," where you don't necessarily care when today. Notably, a QoS of "today" is a guarantee that you can start using it tomorrow morning. If you actually need it tomorrow, you can save the hour or whatever entailed in a round-trip to the store. Depending on your situation, that hour can be worth a meaningful amount of money. If you're doing a larger project, the time (money) savings could add up fast.
