I believe that cost effectiveness has to take into account the impact of that particular AC on the war. The Hellcat may or may not have been decisive in the Pacific. The USN could have soldiered on with the FM2 or the Corsair. It seems to me that the P51 may have had a more decisive impact on the war, since in January 1944, there was no other Allied fighter which could do the job the P51B could do.
