1 organ gun costs just over the price of 4 cassas (in VS).
One organ gun fires almost as fast as 4 cassadore (or as fast) and kills about 5x as many units in one volley.
Massed organ guns slaughter every unit a lot better than falcs, except for artillery. They also murder villagers.
You can't just throw a couple into your army like falcs and scare away infantry. That's like throwing 10 cassas or skirms into your army hoping you'll scare away a horde of muskets.
Organ guns are best used in groups like infantry. They only cost 400 res and 4 pop. They are very cost effective.
As portugese I now mass organ guns. I win. I have won several games with organ guns that I wouldn't have won without them. Vs. a cetan spammer with some Axe Riders, mass muskets and organs completely destyroyed him.
To make things better if you are in the enemy town fighting and he has some villies just in organ LOS but leaves them gathering, one volley from a few organs will kill 10+ (if they are grouped together). It is great.
My new favourite unit.
