Good question, but it is all in the recipe I think. Just like different manufactured fly lines vary so much.
As for cost, I buy regular fluoro fishing line in 6 lb. TIPPET, I buy 5X, 4X, and 6X. They last quite a while as I mostly use the regular P-Line for everything. The diameter is a little bigger than tippet however, but 250 yards for under $20.
I too use a lot. I use it for leader on sinking line meaning 6' to 10', for deep nymphing 30', off my furled leaders 3' to 6' and if need be I can taper that down.
And because of the no shelf life, it does not go to waste. If it gets tangled, I pull off what I can use again and throw the ball away.
Also, you have to read the labels, some that say Fluorocarbon, are in truth merely coated,
