OP is basically speaking about the Gil Value he has to spend on a second/third Animus, so he want a "cheap" setup to make it possible... The thing is, Novus does not require a single Gil, unless people are really lazy. So the whole "gil talk", about the Novus Stage, is moot in first place.
With a market everything you do has value. Materia you created yourself could have been sold on the market. So that's money you could have had but do not. Which, in terms of a bunch of Tier IV materia is pretty large.

Secondary stats give really small contributions overall. It's not nothing, and there are a lot of them total on the novus, but we're not talking about the whole thing. We're talking about changing 11-17 (probably more with RNG and all) very expensive Tier IV crit and det into accuracy (which you may or may not value depending on current gear and desire to future proof yourself) or skill speed. If that's worth multiple millions of gil to get that little bit (we're probably talking a quarter of half of 1% of your total dps ... maybe) extra is up to you. But it by no means makes that weapon worthless.

This is a vertical progression game, the weapon won't last you forever anyhow.
