A question about splitters and UPS

[Killenemy]

As far as I know, splitters consume UPS quite a lot in the past. According to this post, a balancer requires about three inserter-equivalent UPS cost. It seems that the amount is not that huge, but is the cost still correct?

There have been a lot of performance optimizations. I doubt, that the numbers from 5 years ago still apply.

I would recommend to not overuse splitters and balancers anyway, but it only matters, when scaling pretty big. I would really avoid huge balancers, because they are not really needed most of the time. I can understand it for train stations to fill and unload train wagons equally, though

I think you are right. Thanks for the answer.
