If you're not including labor costs your suggestion makes more sense. But it also depends on the situation.

I bought my Z new and put 100K miles on it in the first 6 years. So I have a good idea of the condition of the engine since I maintain it properly. No way in hell would I buy a used engine - I don't care how many miles aren't on it - unless I was planning to rebuild it first. Too risky to just assume that it is in better condition.
