SpaceX: launch, check. Landing? Needs work

The barge is really really cheap when compared to alternatives, and if it does the job (and accuracy shows it's big enough in that respect), then why bother with anything else. Since the seas for this landing were pretty big (12ft waves), and at the top end of what they seem to be able to cope with, and this landing so very nearly succeeded, its seems the barge is a good choice.
