This sounds like a dangerous assumption to make. I would expect that needing 25% more machines for the same performance would be a non-starter for many potential customers.

If they still cost the same in the end, it’s still a tie. If you manage 100,000 machines, managing 125,000 is not a huge leap.

Well, potentially 25000 machines more to fix

Just factor that in the price.
