Was a building inspector once upon a time. Saw several studies that cost of 2x4 -16" OC was almost exactly the same as 2x6 - 24" oc. The amount of board feet of lumber is within 1%. Want to really pump it up? Then go 2x6 -24" oc and add 1" of exterior insulation board on the outside of the stud. Should be good for R-24 or R 25 depending on the material. Also allows you to stack truss directly over the stud as both are engineered for 24" oc.
