But can someone tell us what the difference is in actual dollars and cents. Are we talking pennies or 10ths of a penny or what. Is it even material is really my question.

The EV on suited 5-6-7 is 2.895467 coins vs. holding Q only which is 2.386174 coins. The total difference in expected return is (2.895467-2.386174) = 0.509293 coins, which comes out to about 12.732325 cents, which is very nearly 10% of the total amount that was bet that hand.
Depending on the denomination and number of hands being played, the cost of the error can go up (or down if it is single-handed at a lower denomination).
Anyway, Alan plays a fair deal of video poker, so the more you repeat this error, the more it costs in total in the long run.
Like Alan said, "This is 8/5 Bonus Poker which has a return of 99.17%," well, not playing like that it doesn't.
