Personally though, I think Skytrain pretty easily pays for itself due to the implicit economic and social benefits rapid transit provides, so I'm always amenable to fast tracking it, so to speak.

Link is going in to a built-up environment much later, and it's grade separated. It ain't cheap either but I believe it does pay for itself.
The Broadway extension is half a Billion per km and we'll be lucky if the "easier" half to UBC isn't more once it actually happens.
