I think that each tournament is unique and has its own structure that must be observed beforehand.
large tournaments with "rebuy" and large "addon", it must be calculated if the cost benefit is worth for late entry, because the amount of chips that will have entering in the last minute, can put you close to the bubble or even within the prize .
Believe me, I've already managed to double money just by doing it in several poker rooms!
But there are tournaments that will not have this possibility, especially in turbo or hyper turbo tournaments, where every minute matters, and the simple fact of entering before will put you at an advantage, being able to see many more hands with blinds cheaper.
