Don't know if you'll ever read this, but for the record, I honestly misread your original comment and wrote my snarky comment (which was too snarky even if you wrote what I thought you wrote) without double checking. Sorry.
Also for what it's worth your point turned out to be very true with yesterday's Image 2.6 release, where I was all happy to switch to it because the pricing was the same, only to later realize that prices would increase ~3x because my use case was using the "low" setting before, and the 2.6's low is ~3x the price of 2.5's low.
