Crumble & Case...Really a WASTE?

I personally have never grown off cakes. I have only used the rye tek which is linked in my signature, bc it was the most highly rated tek on the main site. It also fit my setup (small tubs, martha, coolmist) and I just thought it would offer the best yields without doing a bulk grow.
Now I am reading lots of experienced folks telling others that the crumble and case method is a waste of time and energy. And that they produce no more than cakes??
Can I get some feedback on this from cultivators who have had a very successful run with both methods? Perhaps a good tek to follow for a bulk grow, using rye and quart jars, that I can use to expand my horizons?

In my experience, crumbling PF-style cakes and casing increases the yield - but not drastically. If you're already capable of doing grains, I would stick to rye unless you're trying cakes for novelty value.

Well I'm thinking I might need to do a bulk grow, if I can still utilize my precious martha I my martha

crumbling cakes cannot yeild more, there no extra nuitrients and mycelium will use resources repairing the network. if your fruiting conditions are spot on cakes do well. casings are more tolerent of swings in humidity. casings however will still perform best in high humity.
