Yup, our well is steep :).

See also this subway-style ∆v map of our system (inspired by a similar map for Kerbal Space Program): http://i.imgur.com/AAGJvD1.png. I feel it would work great as a poster on a wall.

The map really brings home the point that "Low Earth Orbit is halfway to anywhere in the Solar System".

Neat pic (after I figured out I had to zoom in to see the destinations). It's just missing the route from the Moon to Earth Intercept(/Escape). I'd also love to see these maps include routes to the asteroid belt from the Earth/Moon/Mars.
