You're not losing any uncapped stacks worth of points. Not the (and change) statements. That refers to uncapped stacks being placed after the capped stacks. Especially once you remove the time investment for 1671 to acquire and noodle their 3rd can, they should be able to get the same raw total of totes placed as you proposed (or more). 118 could work 1678's volume from the right station and is better suited to the additional totes from the landfill.

I suppose that makes sense... when you said "and some change", I assumed like, 3 totes, not a full stack

Edit: one thing I did notice in 118's reveal video is that they used a different collector (It looked pretty much just like 1678's) when doing feeder station as compared to landfill- I don't know how this would affect their landfill abilities, though...
