> running Windows on VirtualBox was cheaper in the end

"cheaper"? Wine is free software, whereas to run Windows you need a Windows license.

Time and money are not seamlessly convertible at all, so, if this was the intended meaning of the comment, I think "cheaper" is misleading in comparison with e.g. "faster", "easier", "more efficient", "less time-consuming"...
