Generally, I'd say that's the incorrect approach. If it was a damage based CE, I suppose. This is a drop based CE. The longer you have it, the more petals you accumulate just by going through the event, doing what you'd do anyway. That opens more boxes for less ap, netting you qp, mats, a gauranteed spread of silver and gold pieces so you won't have to worry about them for a long time, exp cards, some apples, and mana prisms. Comparing someone who got the CEs from the shop early to someone who didn't, the person who made the early investment has been netting that stuff at about 3 times the rate or a bit more. Think about everything you've gotten from boxes so far other than princess of white rose and gold/silver apples. Now multiply that by two. That's about how much stuff you're missing by delaying.

This of course includes enough medal of great knight to level one of Mordred Rider's skills past the annoyance that requires tons of those hard to farm normally medals, 150+ gold exp cards (To give you an idea of this amount, it is approximately enough to take a servant from level 1 to 65), 600 mana prisms, 20 million qp which is a drop in the bucket but you'll be glad you got once you get to leveling skills seriously, and a bunch of other stuff that I'll spare you the listing out of. The numbers were assumed you hit box 5. With the CEs, you'd be on approximately box 15. Yes, the event CEs are expensive but especially in an event where the gains are repeated throughout the whole event and are gauranteed. You can just do the math and it isn't probability.
