But what about the cost of living there?

Wait, loose car sling bolts? That's a new nightmare unlocked.

Honestly, how many coats of dust and regret did you save with that smaller knife? I tried a 6-inch once for some crazy angles and spent more time fixing my own mess than actually taping. Tbh, my first attempt looked like a toddler did it with their eyes closed. Guess some of us just have to learn the hard way that smaller tools aren't always a shortcut.
