Interesting - we moved the other direction (to Linode) from Rackspace because their VM/dedicated pricing was just out of whack. Our new box was nominally the same as the old at half the price, but the "4 CPU" was so much newer that it was nearly 2x.

Whenever I've interacted with Rackspace they've seemed almost proud to be expensive.

At the same scale? I guess if you move a whole data center, they'll quote very different prices from their public ones.

Yeah, I suspect Rackspace is aimed at "we'll datacenter for you" and not toward small businesses with small needs. And they price themselves accordingly to discourage those customers.
