I have an IPA sitting on second generation S05 and I may just use the third generation for a Porter. It's just so easy to repitch and works so well with my brew schedule that it's hard to pass up.

Any given product is "worth" what people will pay for it. If they charge $4 and you paid for it, then it's worth $4.

Last time I bought dry yeast it was under $1 per pack. It's been a long time.

I just bought 4 packs of S05 at my LHBS for $1.95/per. Guess they haven't gotten the news yet.
