you have to define cheaper and see the pros and cons. of course they both achieve a high level of security, but working with electrum itself is very difficult for the average user.

"cheaper" relative to what? if you hold 100 dollars, then sure, but if you're holding 1+ coin, then nothing is more expensive than to not ensure 100% safety of your coins.

if you're comfortable with your method that's great. but I think the hardware wallet is designed for those who hold their coins with custodians like Coinbase, are not technical, are willing to buy more but wouldn't cuz they simply don't understand bitcoin.

we need to do all we can to get those damn coins off exchanges.
