Is it true that Nickel/Gold plating has higher yield than HASL boards for
fine-pitch boards during pcb manufacturing while same yield for non-fine pitch?

If I want to convert my fine-pitch boards, it will cost little higher
compared to HASL while non-fine pitch boards will cost more for Nickel/Gold
finish. Is it true or a bunch of baloney from typical sales? He may want to
scare me not to convert non-fine pitch boards to Nickel/gold which I want to
know from you guys.
