It’s the value for money and the return on investment. If we look at comparisons, it’s much quicker to return and it’s an investment. I can sweat an asset for maybe 3 to 5 years. I’ve had the benefit of having a stable base to work from without needing to budget for replacements on a much more regular basis. So if times are tough you can sweat it a bit, if money becomes available you can grow it a bit.
