There is no such thing as "winning by material advantage". Either you can checkmate your opponent or you can't. Going after material and neglecting your own king's safety often leads to disaster--just look at how many of Morphy's games ended with him down decisive material because he sacrificed most of his pieces in mating combinations.
No matter how strong your attacking position, it is irrelevant should you leave your own king exposed to a counterattack, even if that attack is only sufficient to get a perpetual check.
If you think it's cheap, you're probably smoking that MaryJuana, MaryandJuana.
