While Charging Bull was not a commission, I still think it serves as an example as bang-for-the-buck public art. Del Geist has said that over 90% of the cost of Bowfort Towers went to production+installation, leaving at most 10% as his profit. Why do you think there would be a major cost difference if it were commissioned?
