Sort of a 'no-brainer', isn't it.

It is! :) That calculation only works if you did all those cycles.

Agreed. I am just fussing about the math. To compare better, you need to pick a number of cycles that you will do and THEN do the costs
Say you do 1000 and quit. You have the cost of the Lifeline, but now to do the same you need 370 and 370 = 740 but now you need a third 370 for 1110 so you need to spend 3 x 180= $540
But if you pick 1110, then you need a second set of Lifelines to do the extra 110 so that's 2 x 312 =624 against 540
But if you pick 740 that's 312/740 = 42 cents a cycle, not 31 and much closer to that 49 cents.
Just saying the cost per cycle is not a very useful measurement for this purpose.
