You can argue 'cheaper' or you can argue 'diminishing returns' but it seems obvious to me that every advance of native processing means if you throw some HD cards into that new machine, you still have MORE.
And EVEN if you don't use that "more" for plugin processing... you still are gaining quite a large amount of processing load that the host does not have to do.
