I’m aware of the /24 block for facilitation concept, but my client’s use case 
can qualify as an end-user rather than as an ISP, thus their annual operating 
cost is smaller than even the X-SMALL ISP category, which they’d land in — if 
they opted for the smaller /36 initial IPv6 direct allocation, rather than the 
default /32 direct allocation.

That seems to balance toward buying an existing /24.
