By 3x as good, do you mean they can develop things faster, with less bugs and with better quality code? If so, we would definitely pay a premium. I'd rather have something developed in 10 days at a daily rate of $500/day rather than have it take 20 days at $250/day. However, I wouldn't fire 3 developers to get one "amazing" developer. What happens if he/she gets ill or decides to leave? You're suddenly left with no developers on the team.
