I agree 100%, they cost just as much as real cake. People just don’t understand that, you will need to explain it to them. It will cost “X” amount to decorate a foam dummy. Leave the decision up to them.
I usually suggest making the tiers smaller to get more height. Example use a 4"-5"-6"-7" or what ever to get the proper servings but also make a it look taller.
