As for the rationality of buying a tdi today, if I had a crystal ball and could see the drop in fuel costs brought on by CV, I likely would have just bought a gasser.
Modern gassers aren't as efficient as a tdi, but they have closed the gap.
When RUG was 3.25 and Diesel 3.75, there was a small advantage to diesel, but it was negligible.
Today with RUG around 2.00 and Diesel at 2.60, RUG wins....all day long.
But, of course, it's not all about $$$$$. There is something to be said for that intoxicating torque kick in the back on long uphill pulls!!! 4th gear 100 mph (or close to it) pulls put a smile on my face every time!
