They are cheap in comparison to some tools, I guess. I see them at the Grainger's website for about $27, but I'm sure that you could get a cheaper model somewhere else (although it might be less quality). I've seen the midget ones for less than $10 at the local HW store, but they may not have a big enough throat for the tubing you wish to cut, and the smaller ones are harder to use unless you need to cut tubing in a tight location (such as the inside of a refrigerator).
I used a hack saw....
then my trusty pocket knife and some sandpapper to clean up all the shavings and rough stuff in the inside edge...
how much of a difrence would it make in flow?
can't be that much... but i duno...
