It is likely, surely, that the bigger PCB with fewer layers is cheaper.

I must say I enjoy, especially with RomDisq, in getting a small compact
PCBs, and it helps increase signal integrity.
I bet Nasta's design is not as 'crammed' per layer as the 2-layer
RomDisq. It was quite hard finding a PCB manufacturer who could
routinely handle 3mil PCB track separation.
