It doesn't take nearly that many Fusion Cores nor credits. Someone posted a picture of them maxing a 10 rank Rare mod from unranked; it took ~800 Fusion Cores and 1.4m credits (there were many uncommon Fusion Cores however). Anyway, yes it still is expensive.

Depending on what weapon you're using it on though, it may benefit you a lot more than any elemental (Fire, Electricity, Freeze) mod will. Well, this mainly applies to Acrid. Because the majority of its damage is in its DoT, and that DoT targets the torso, the majority of your elemental damage is going to be reduced to nothing on any high level enemy.
