Two things that are most significant to me cost of lumber are the log price and labour to get it to the mill and the time it takes to mill it and any additional work required. A circular saw big enough to process those logs is wasteful on material but way faster in processing. The narrow band machines can never compete on speed. A wide band saw of 8 inch blade or bigger is the most economical on time and with no more waste than the narrow blade. It's also important to note on a swage blade if the sawdust sticks to the board you are going too slow. Value of all lumber is what someone is willing to pay.
