After adding salt-laden sauces, salt-laden meats, and salt-laden vegetables -- you'll be extremely hard-pressed to tell the difference between homemade and boxed.
Like if you had five bowls of pasta in front of you, mixed with other foods --- you think you could tell which out of the five were homemade? If any of them were? Doubtful.
Spend the time on the sauces, the meat, the sides. That's where the flavor comes from.

Wait...that's incorrect. If I'm buying that much boxed pasta, I'm sure I could get bulk-pricing, so add another 25%....240lbs+ of pasta to break even.
And that's dried pasta weight, not fresh wet pasta. So you're making EVEN MORE to account for the drying process.
And that's not accounting for ANY of the time/labor spent making pasta. Nor for the flour or eggs. Which I'm sure eggs are cheap again, right? ....right? So if you value your time at min-wage and account for raw material costs, your break-even point climbs even further.
Even if you can differentiate between boxed and fresh pasta, is it worth THAT much extra cost? Will this tool even last making 200-300lbs of pasta? That's industrial-scale...not home use.
3 eggs, 300g flour, 3g salt.
I got the 3pc set for $130 a number of years back. I don't use it all the time, but I'm glad to have it, and as a buy-it-for-life type of item, I don't regret having dropped the dough.
It's a bit like having a nice rice cooker... sure, ~$100-200 is a good deal of money to spend when you could just buy '5 minute instant rice' instead, but you get a way more enjoyable outcome, and it's way easier & hassle-free.
