The cash argument is a big red herring. If it wasn’t cost beneficial for England to govern Scotland they wouldn’t be so vociferously opposing independence.
You’d have statements on the side of a bus. Scotland goes and we will give £350m a week to the NHS. The population of England will be delighted. Scotland goes off to carve its own path.
Oddly that’s not how the discussion plays out.
