Yes I replaced my child with a pixel 7 about a year ago and while the experience is pretty good I am concerned that eventually I will want the extra help on the farm, not to mention the elderly care I'll eventually need. So I see it as a sort of front-loaded upgrade, I got the crying kid out of my life (just shipped it off to some sort of bio-research guy I met on 4chan) and I sleep great, but I need to maximize that advantage now in order to offset the future costs. I'd say your mileage may vary but for me I think it was the proper choice.
