Well, I disagree with your analysis, but I'll just leave it
at that.  It's getting to a picking nits level.  :-)

For some people, of course, it could be money and "just how much is
it worth to them in both time and money".

Example:

I got back from my family reunion in Las Vegas about a week or two
ago.  I took a pile of 3D photos with my FED and my wife took 2D
photos with a Pentax SF1 camera.  I then went and had some processing
done.  I won't even speak about how her camera was autofocus and
had a TTL zoom lens.

Each roll of my wife's photos yielded TWO 4"x6" prints of 36-images.

Each roll of my 3D photos yielded about 20 unmounted uncut images.

Which costed more?  Her film was much cheaper to begin with AND the 
processing described above was also slightly cheaper for her 
processing +  72 prints than for my single-roll E6 processing-only.

And I still need to add the time and cost of up to 20 RBT 
slide mounts.   I've still not mounted any of mine, while
we already looked at all of her images "instantly".

Not that my 3D won't be "better" (eventually), but in terms of
both runtime time and monetary costs, one won by a mile/kilometer.
