On a one for one basis I can see your point. The calculations get different when you can replace banks of elevators with a couple of shafts. It also reduce the floors pace on each floor taken up by shafts. A LSM elevator can cost many times the cost of a rope elevator but still come out less expensive in the long run. Then there is the issue of vary tall building that even the new rope can not handle. Neither of us have the numbers so we have no idea where the break even point is.
