The issues around free Vs non-free data are more complex than "my time is
worth more than $60 per month"
As most day-traders can tell you ... it is easy to get "nickled and dimed"
to death. $40 a month here ... $60 there. Cost control is very important, if
you want to be able to keep what's on the bottom-line.
Having one or two alternative sources is well worth the effort, when faced
with your data service being down until late in the evening or for 2 or 3
days.
"Paying attention and checking" are a part of this business like any
business. IMHO if you don't have the time or the energy / willingness to
"spend" the time on the little details, you may not be in the business very
long.
Control is the name of the game: cost control, accuracy control, data
availability control, etc.
I'm sure that the long term traders know all about the amount of "effort"
required for long-term survival.
Best regards
