I will agree that if you are doing an engine swap for mileage only, it will take a LONG time to pay for itself.
That's why I have a Honda that gets 60 to 80 MPG.
I'm still not convinced that you can get 700 ft lbs of torque out of an LSx and still have it be driver friendly and be able to tow heavy.
The reason i went with a 4BT is that the 7.3 that I had was shot and I wanted more power and I like Cumminses and lots of headaches associated with swaps. I probably should have went with a 6BT but I was told by many people that "you couldn't get any power out of a four cylinder" - so I did.
