VPS Comparison between Slicehost and Prgmr: is an $8 instance as good as a $20 one?

It might only be $12 but it's also a 150% increase. I think when you're comparing apples and apples (as in two products that have roughly the same features-- not a Rolls Royce and moped even though they share a basic function) there are going to be very few situations where a 150% increase is justified.

I'm on Slicehost, with about a $100 a month bill. Given my technology needs, that is overpaying -- both for the number of servers I bought (I could consolidate to save) and the price per server.

And I just couldn't care less. That's like one night's worth of sales. I've (hopefully) got better things to do with my time than spending it preparing for a migration and inevitable breakage in the interests of saving myself an hour's salary a month.
