If you stick to prisms, you can't ever change the gear appearance in or out of towns without manually reglamouring them. Glamour plates let you do it while in town. It's a net gain.

But the really strong point of the dresser/plate system as it currently exists isn't the switching glamours with jobs, it's reapplying glamours when you update gear.

Any time I upgrade gear - especially while leveling where you might equip lots of new items at once - all I need to do is reapply the glamour plate I set up, and my appearance is straight back to normal within seconds. No messing around with prisms or having to carry the 'glamour set' of items around with me. It's fantastic.
I dont change my glamours for individual jobs, i have a set BLM glam and DRK glam, etc. So i dont currently burn through prisms that much, i only use them when i upgrade my gear which isnt regularly enough to impact my wallet.

The only issue is when i get RDM up to 70, I'll have two jobs sharing gear, then i will need to use glamour plates. However, if i want to change jobs outside of a sanctuary, which i often do already free of charge and without expending prisms, then i wont be able to without looking like a freaky RDM/BLM/Rakasha hybrid.
