I spend way, way more time completing an LTS than any SE. For the first several stages of an SE, I can get through usually within about 30mins or so (depending on the length of each challenge). Only the final stage or 2 require much extra time I find.

If you're trying to complete an SE with the bare minimum upgrades, yes, you will have a tougher time and will potentially spend a lot more time playing. But, that's a personal choice.

If you upgrade to all 3's (which is the minimum for any LTS these days anyhow), then SE's are much, much easier and you'll fly through 90% of it first try, assuming you're a decent player. In that case it's no more expensive than most LTS's, and potentially cheaper.

I still mourn the time when SE's weren't the GC suck that they are now, but the entire game has turned into a GC suck, so it just is what it is and we deal with it. At least FM has slowly made SE's a bit more predictable of late. They're still fine-tuning the balance of difficulty and GC cost, but it seems to be settling more recently.
