Math people? Cost benefit for sema/ tirz/ reta/ cag/mix- anyone done calcs?

I appreciate your guys' kindness to all, including newbies/little guys and your extensive expertise that you're willing to share. Hugs!

I've liked sema just fine; have tried tirz at full price white market but need higher dose than 10mg/week so went back to sema @ around 1.5mg/ week.... may increase to max but trying not to acquire too much tolerance.

I feel like big pharma studies the more expensive glps now (for more profit), and puts sema a bit to the side?
Looked at one study that didn't include sema :( only lira/tirz/reta. It appears that tirz does a good job with blood glucose levels compared to reta... whereas reta is more beneficial for liver/kidney and maybe heart health.

No judgement, everyone's bodies & goals are different, so please no one take offense.... I am just wondering if * part * of the consumers preference for changing up to the newest glp is like when people go for the newest iPhone? For me, sema has been better than tirz as I didn't reach the high enough dose on it and it was much more expensive. But maybe there are other health benefits that o don't know about.

Is the increased price for newer products worth it due to additional health benefits (liver, kidney)?
Was thinking of trying tirz again, this time grey kits....

But has anyone looked at the % body fat lost according to studies for each of the glps and compared it to the price? Looking at official studies, there doesn't seem to be a huge difference from sema to the others?
But I'm not mathematically adept :/ :( maybe the calculations show one has the most cost/benefit?

Cagriline is supposed to be a beast but studies show people aren't seeing super enhanced results with sema + cagriline?

I don't have a ton of confidence in big pharma studies, but that is what we have to go on for calculations... aside from lived experience in the glp communities.

Anyway, tldr - anyone done the calc for the most cost/benefit effective glp? Comparing % body fat decrease & price?
Tysm fam!!!! :))))
I have had good luck with Reta,and it’s the most expensive, but among the three options I think cost is really not a super important consideration, why?

My average weekly cost for Reta has been about $9, assuming an average dose of 6mg. Had I purchased SEMA or Tirz, this might have been $3 or $5 per week, the difference is not material financially and imo the meds really pay for themselves, even when just factoring short-term benefits like lower food and alcohol consumption and $’s saved.
 
The only thing I don't like reading about reta is the heart rate issue. How prevalent is the elevated resting heart rate? On the positive side, I can easily monitor for it with my Fitbit.

As a tirz user, I may get sema just for "shits and giggles" and for low-cost paranoid stockpiling.

Minimal increase in HR for me, maybe 6-7 BPM. Having used both Tirz and Sema, also noted far less gastrointestinal issues and better results. But sides may be different for other people.

I had a 20bpm increase with just 2mg. Kinda wild.
