18 months as of tomorrow, in that time only 2 20% PWCs, not counting having to tear down and move the tank 3 times (which constituted about a 40% PWC each time)

I guess it depends.. how long have I been running a scrubber? 3 years now, but I am not running the first ATS I made. Had to learn my lesson the hard way on why using a rubbermaid container is very bad for an ATS. (hint: rubbermaid=biopellets).
Personally, I think water changes are the most expensive way to maintain a reef tank, supplements are far cheaper. Alk, Calcium, and Magnesium supplements cost less than a 50G bag of salt from BRS and has lasted me years. It has been over a year since I did a water change on my reef tanks, but I have had to do a lot of them on my breeding tanks lately.
about 2 years here, will never go back!
About 19 months for this 40 breeder. Virtually no water changes, except to add water lost to selling livestock or accidental floods.
