Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

Wagyu, purely for the texture in this case.

I don't want "steak-butter", I want to rip through a raw piece of meat.

I dont think wagyu is overrated but I absolutely cannot justify the cost.

The problem is the taste makes me crave the texture.

I'm a bit abnormal in that I crave texture more than taste though. I love eating steak near raw (blue) with my bare hands so I can do that "nature channel wolf thing" where they rip their prey with a side-to-side wry head movement. It's primal and glorious.

And if I get that flavour without the texture I am left, wanting.

Gollum had it right in the end. Give it to me raw and wriggling. (But preferably free of parasites...)

Maybe you could eat each bite of a normal sirloin with a slice of wagyu on it.
