I don't think accuracy of IMU's out there vary dramatically, and the noise shouldn't matter too much (all major ones within some +-3 db?) -- sure, if they were a few orders of magnitude more accurate you would get a whole new type of applications -- but with current ranges you're restricted to some kind of pattern recognition (i.e. not full motion tracking), which is quite noise resilient.

By "noise" I wasn't just referring to noise in the sensor. PSU noise, for example, needs to be controlled to below some limit. That increases the BOM count and thus $$$.
