compactness/portability seems to be a huge advantage to me. something like the difference between walking around with a smartphone vs sitting at an unportable computer
That's certainly the tradeoff. Price vs portability.
yes it only occurred to me after i commented that OP’s objectives were to minimize cost and manufacturing complexity. but I guess accuracy/durability would still have to factor in, since its not worth the time/effort for the cheap output to be breaking down all the time.
