One of the complaints of the Sydney airport line is the cost. If it were
upgraded and cost even more (like Heathrow Express), I wouldn't see those
complaints going away.

There might be warm fuzzy feelings from having a Sydney airport train run
express to Central, but given that now it only takes 10-13 minutes and only
makes two intermediate stops, it wouldn't make much difference to the travel
time.
