IIRC axe blades have a 150% yield compared to the 120% from discs.

Bismuth Bronze versus Bronze:

Bismuth bronze:
1x   1 Cassiterite + 1 fuel + 1 labor => 4 tin bars
2x   1 Malachite + 1 fuel + 1 labor => 4 copper bars
1x   1 Bismuthinite + 1 fuel + 1 labor => 4 bismuth bars
4x   1 tin + 2 copper + 1 bismuth + 1 fuel + 1 labor => 4 bismuth bronze bars
Total for 16 bars:
1 Cassiterite
2 Malachite
1 Bismuthinite
8 Fuel
8 Labor

Bronze:
2x 1 Cassiterite + 1 Malachite + 1 fuel + 1 labor => 8 bronze bars
Total for 16 bars:
2 Cassiterite
2 Malachite
2 Fuel
2 Labor

So just in terms of labor alone, plain bronze is a 4-to-1 win. When you factor in the 4-to-1 fuel savings (with extra labor costs not counted here), it's a bigger win.

The purported advantage due to reducing cassiterite needs seems odd, since I typically find far more cassiterite than I do bismuthinite. I don't actually recall ever finding them both on the same map, though. So the issue has never come up since I've never actually found the ingredients to make bismuth bronze.
