Anyone who can make their own EFI system probably has a well paying job.
Compare that with the time spent making the system, and I think the price of
a $2 part vs. a $20 part is pretty insigificant (assuming of course we
aren't increasing all the parts in the system by 10x).

If you start with capable hardware but don't use it all, more features can
always be added later.

This is a thread on minimalist designs which started off saying that the MS
which uses a $9 part is too complex. Suddenly everyone wants to make it
EFI-332.

You can do batch fire EFI with a $2 part. Depends what you want.
