You see. This is why I wanted to steer away from the whole "efficiency value based on roles" argument. We can barely agree on the specific roles of different minis...

So work out the efficiency of every figure as a beater (even the dwarf artificier) and if the efficiency for that role is high use it as a beater. Regardless of what you guessed the figure should be used for.
Also work out the efficiency of every unit as a commander, as a ranged attacker etc. Number crunching is what spreadsheets are for.[:)]
While I try to estimate the correct role for every unit, occasionally my spreadsheet will show that a unit I had not considered for a role is superbly cost-effective. At that point I test the unit.

For the best players I consider their collection to be as many as they want of any figure they want. Just as you say, they'll get it if they don't have it. (And lots of them have them already...

Absolutely; Having a spreadsheet that gives at least a "first-guess" of which units are efficient makes it a lot cheaper to buy such a collection in the first place. While everyone else is trying to collect one of everything, I can concentrate on getting multiples of all the highest efficiency units. trading away all the low-effiecency units to do so.

Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything.
