We talk about capability like it's some kind of linear scale. I am not paying 30x for 30x performance. I am paying 30x so that my use case goes from "haha nope" to a signed contract with the client. Works 0% of the time => works 3% of the time is an infinite improvement in capability. That is what the premium is paying for.
