As I posted in a comment elsewhere, if one views the future of LBI optimistically, that isnt such a strange turn of events.
True it is cheaper directly. However, at some point, there will only be a certain amount available.
The price of leodex might be more expensive now than direct but it will likely be cheaper than on the open market in 3-6 months from now.

But as long it is available (and I think it will stay available at least this week) buying it directly would still be better/cheaper, no matter what the price will be in a few months.
I see 4 reasons for buying LBI with Hive at the moment:
I think your point was reason 3 and a bit of 4?
I understand the manual process is cave man but i like it. We are 100% sure that each LBI issued is backed by 1 staked LEO. Im every anal about that. The issuing process will last until people stop buying them. Most people bought their bag's yesterday.
Issuing some on leoDEX could be a good way to issue a few thousand as a last push before hard capping, some goes for wLEO. We'll be needing some anyways and could save a little on fees. Save the pennyies and watch them turn into pounds (dollars)
