"Its about owning/controlling the station at the completetion." Well, controlling the station isn't worth a whole lot, either. My current passenger total is 69.1M. Of that, my own stations contribute 68.5M and Mrs Wilma, Johann, Bobby, Mahatma, George, Otto, Sam, Jules, Alan, Wolfgang, Mizuki, Lucy, Giovanni, Anthoni, Ethan and Ethan II _combined_ (all fully upgraded except Giovanni, Ethan and Ethan II) contribute about 600,000. That is, all of the stations I've gained from contractors contribute in total less than 1% of my passengers. Even fully upgraded, I doubt that Cornelius on his own is going to be worth more than about 0.2% of my total, and I could get that by building a decent building for _much_ less material than Cornelius demands.

Having said that, I agree that whistles are now much more useful than they used to be.
