That's what it really boils down to. How much money can be saved versus performance. If I'm doing a lot of throughput to a specific network, it makes sense that I might want to connect to them, especially if that connection either 1) saves me money or 2) gives me superior QOS/load balancing without a cost increase.
Anything less than 200mbit of traffic isn't even worth me considering these days, and as I grow, I'm sure that number will increase. Content providers generally won't peer unless you meet certain traffic requirements for the same reason.
That's certainly a valid approach for direct (private) peering, it's not applicable to IXPs offering route servers. -- Jérôme Nicolle
