I will go out on a limb and say that a reduction in the cost of stratum-1 servers will increase their use across the Internet. The results of such an increase would be arguably visible, as the current multi-layer timekeeping system seems to be more-or-less keeping clocks correct to the point of usefulness, at least from a layer-4-and-up standpoint.
The point ought to be made that a dense mesh of stratum-2 sources is likely more robust/accurate than a single stratum-1 source... --bill
