In terms for bang for your buck, DO is much cheaper.

Yeah you can get a cheaper AWS server, but it's a much lower performance one.

From what I can see, it's not a matter of bang for your buck, what matters is that AWS scales lower than a DO, so if your are not fully using your VPS, AWS is cheaper.

Of course, I side with the GP here, it's just not worth the risk. I could save a bit by switching my VPS too, but I won't.
