Break-even is at about 25,000 units, where we expect to make about 1,000 to 2,000 per year.
Wow! Do you think you'll still be selling the same device in 25 years? (12 1/2 years at best?)

One possible upside I can think of would be saving some space on the PCB. Granted it wouldn't be much, but if you only need one gate you could go with a smaller chip (Mouser shows the 74AUP1G97 as SOP-6 whereas the 74HC00 is SOP-14) and thus free up room to either throw in more components or arrange things to take up less space thus possibly shrinking the PCB depending on how many of the dual/quad chips you used.Engineers who design consumer products work hard to drive the material and production cost down. Cutting a few cents here and there can make the difference between a success and failure. They will not use this part to replace a less expensive one. There is no up side.
