I disagree that the cost doesn't match the performance. I am a firm believer that
the better quality shells make a difference especially when you consider how little most folks get to actually hunt. I take a lot of people duck hunting and see few cripples using the better quality shells like Hevishot
A while back I read an article somewhere that argued that steel shot led to more wounded unrecovered birds than would be killed by eating lead or lead poisoning from shots.
