For me, and I think for many others too, this is not only a question about money. The convenience achieved by using 220 film instead of 120 film is in many situations remarkable. If you think for example landscape photograpers with 6x12 format you can get only 6 exposures in one 120 roll. With 220 film you can get 12 exposures. A remarkable benefit especially if you are photographing in a cold climate. Not to mention anything about them who are using 6x17 format... Also in street or action photography 120 roll runs out too rapidly. Many pictures are lost during loading the camera.
Yes, I know and understand, that these panorama format shooters are only a marginal group, but we do exist! Perhaps someone should serve also us.
About money and the price of the film. I don't try to get more shots with the same money by searching for 220 films. I tried to explain my motivations in overlying paragraphs. I think that for me the still tolerable price for 220 film roll is something like 2,5x the price of 120 film roll.
