As to the cost versus the size, I process my own, so that doesn't matter to me.
I do, however, make every effort to take the does and steer clear of button bucks.

I've never killed a BB on purpose or by accident. I guess it helps that I only shoot large doe or legal buck so I've never been in a position to make the mistake.
I don't understand why anybody would target a bb, even if you havent been hunting long. Wait for a nice doe at least.

I know it's to each their own, and personally your choice is your choice and whatever you wanna put your tag on does not affect me in the least.
A Bowhunter once told me it is a crime against Mother Nature to kill a BB. I tend to agree!
Some answers are interesting
As far as processing my own? I guess if my time was worth nothing that might be a bargain, but it is usually more profitable for me to do something else. I would rather spend my free time in a Treestand hunting. To be quite honest I got my fill of butchering, cutting up meat, and packaging when I was younger.

I usually choose to quarter them at night. Can't hunt at night, so....makes sense.

Not all butchers price the same way. The guy that does processing here will give you $15 off if you skin and quarter your deer. Quite frankly it's Not worth the $15 to me as it involves more than just skinning and quartering even though that in itself is a simple job.
