Superior light air performance. 40% amortized over the life of the sail is
zilch.
Also look at resale value.

I'm not gonna sell them, I may wear them out. Light air is not a real
problem with me.

If you're racing yes, if not, probably no. I read an article a while back
from someone that was primarily cruising and they claimed otherwise, will
see if I can locate the article, was published in "Sail".
