Both pricing and start-up times are significantly better in Glue 2.0 (assuming one can migrate). But even on Glue 1.0, orchestrating an ETL process with with several dozen jobs is a non-trivial amount of configuration and labor. (Jobs failures, job restarts, paging, job run history, cloudwatch logs, re-usable infrastructure as code when creating a new jobs, permissions and security, etc) that the increased cost is more than worth it for us.
