That depends. And in some (many?) situations, the answer is yes. If you can save $10,000 of maintainance over the course of an application's lifetime by initial development costing $3,000 more, then it's certainly worth it, yes? The vast majority of development costs are spend in maintenance, not initial development, and anything that makes maintenance easier is almost always worth doing.
