As I said before, I would happily accept getting 3 stations at C-line quality rather than 2 stations at M-line quality for the same price.

The M-Line stations cost around $25-million each....which happens also to be the approximate cost for each Canada Line elevated station at half the length, after 5 years of inflation.
Hardly gold-plated. At best, the more aesthetically pleasing designs would have increased overall project costs marginally. The bulk of the project's cost is in rail infrastructure.
