Yeah, for those with the patience to liquidate VGCs it is definitely cheaper. I calculated the difference closer to $78 but that’s the right ballpark. I just am not really in to MOs and manufactured spending but you’re right that it can be done more cheaply. I am paying about .584 ents per point, which works for me but could be more efficient for sure.
