I'm aware of the stats on the Honeyclaws. Also, the discussion here is not cost-efficiency. It is simply about what is better than the other.

It is common practice to make HQ weapons/gear for multi-melding due to the increased success rate. So a multi-melded Cobalt Claws +1 I can see being overall better for a MNK that does not have Ifrit's Claws.
