The gasers are cheap used relative to a diesel, often more than the $8K point of entry due to demand.
That just proved your original point invalid, at least with new. If you pay $8k more new and it's worth $8k more in 5 years compared to a similarly equipped gas model, then you get all the benefits of the diesels for "free".
It is a case by case basis. Buying used is much different than doing the comparison on new prices and the market determines what is cheap. If a model is unpopular on the used market it sells for a much bigger discount. How that shakes out isn't always obvious at the time you buy a new one.
So... use whatever logic works for you.
