Nedelec aren't cheap either. You need an fe(n+1) to achieve n accuracy. It's 64 dofs for all the 6 components of the electric field E in 3D to achieve 1st order accuracy. With adaptive mesh refinement, Nedelec will get a lot more expensive than this. By all means, do what seems fit. I am just trying to be a bit informative. Maybe you get one of those questions in the future.
