Don't have to worry about being cost effective in doing studies. Most asteroid experts want programs that have a chance of being funded. As a result they recommend cost effective solutions like those in the reference I gave a link to. It's stupid to spend hundreds of millions for marginal if any improvement in detection efficiency when that money could be used for other useful space programs including probes to asteroids and comets.

Mark
