I did a quick analysis on the effect on average Orb cost. First off, you still want to snipe. It's still better.

Average Orb cost on a 4 unit banner with 1 unit of each colour:
Red: 167 -> 115
Blue: 165 -> 116
Green: 148 -> 110
Colourless: 161 -> 115

Green is still best at an average of 110. Red, Blue and Colourless are all pretty much equal and only a little worse than Green.

Average Orb cost on a 4 unit banner with 4 Red focus units:
4 Red: 188 -> 119

That's quadruple colour sharing on Red and average Orb cost only goes up by 4 Orbs. When compared against the best case of solo Green, the difference is 9 Orbs.

Orb costs exclude the free pull and summon tickets. So decrease all Orb costs by 5 for the free pull and roughly 5 more for each ticket.

On top of all this is the peace of mind that you know exactly what your safety margin is when starting on a banner. If you go in with 195 Orbs, you are guaranteed to get the unit you want. In most cases, you probably want to intentionally pull 40 times anyways. Like if you've already done 24 pulls, 16 pulls is good value for another 5* (plus more if you are lucky).
