4 bottles of Ensure Complete would only be 1400 Calories/day, vs. 2200 Calories for Soylent. You'd have to drink 6/day, making it $66.43/wk for Ensure Complete (cheapest Amazon price) vs. $52.88/wk for Soylent.

Of course, you said that you considered $73.48/wk to be "very close to Soylent pricing". Sure it's in the same order of magnitude, but a 40% increase is nothing to sneeze at.

Ensure Plus is higher calorie.

You don't want the high calorie versions because people are going to be chugging this stuff to avoid feeling hungry.

Ensure Plus contains 350 Calories, exactly the same as Ensure Complete.
