Yes, there's really two parts to a "vanity" domain: I want a nice looking email address, and I want to own my email address no matter what service I use. It's nice to be able to also use an awesome service like Gmail on top of it.

It's worth some value to me, but $50/user/year is a bit much for a family of ~5 light email users.

I think this is only for new customers, not existing ones.

Right, but we're talking about the (now current) pricing model. There are many many many small family units that have not yet converted to "vanity" gmail. Now they won't ever.
