It's really nice for HB fast advance though, because it allows you to score 3/2 agendas with Efficiency Committee. it's kind of unreliable, because you have to score a 4/2 first, but at one influence pip, I can see this getting some play.
You are missing the big picture, this card is not about Money, it is about Advancement sans money. First, Beanstalk would take all three clicks to do this, one to play and then two to advance twice. This card does two advancements with two clicks, leaving the third click to do something else. Aside from that, the benefit here is Advancement from nowhere. For example, In faction with one credit you could use Astroscript, this card, and then 1credit for four Advancements.
This should not be compared with Beanstalk or Restructure, it is meant to be compared with Trick of Light, Astroscript, and other Advancement based cards.
Of course, if because you're flat broke that last click is used to gain a credit, then the cards have become identical. You've used three time to advance twice and gain a net 1 credit over that you started with.
While this is correct, at least having that click free does allow you to do something else if you wish - such as playing a 0-cost Operation, or selling a piece of ICE to Security Subcontract.
Consider - you have a Breaking News on the table and a Freelancer in hand. In that situation, you'd rather have Shipment from SanSan than Beanstalk (assuming you have good Freelancer targets).
My point I guess is that they're different cards for different situations.
At 1 influence I see it in HB decks running Efficiency Comitee - having one scored allows you to install, advance, use the last click to extend your turn with 3 more clicks and play double Shipment from SanSan to score a 3/5 agenda from hand. Otherwise, it is a credit-free advancement when you are broke - which doesn't happen quite a lot lately with all those low-risk credit-making operations.
Speaking of [E]fficiency [C]omitee. You can install a 2/4 Agenda, take 2 agenda counters from EC and score it with 2x Shipment from SanSan. All in one turn, even when EC says "you can not advance cards". Because putting advancement tokens on a card is not equal to advancing a card.
EDIT: Seriously, I should read more thoroughly. Valdemart pointed that out before. *facepalm*
No worries, it is good mentioning it again as the upcoming NBN cards might return some of those cards in the meta. Man, I need to play this game more than I am able to now.
