When a show has an episode with more budget does that mean more cuts/drawings are used?

IIRC, Gundam Seed had a high episode budget, but the animation was full of stock footage and was pretty unremarkable. There are other places that the money can go to, though normally a high budget/drawing count episode should be well animated.
