One question - regarding the Economist subscription - if we substitute W for Web and P for Paper - why would comparing P to P&W be a no-brainer (thus leaving W completely out) - and yet comparing W to P&W such a difficult task? I think the price plays a role here as well - the perceived discount of the paper option when bundled with the Web... Oh well, obviously I have P&W for my economist subscriptions, knowing is soooo different from doing :) Keep up the good work! Good stuff!

This pricing scheme certainly is to be found everywhere these days. What a gift to your readers. Amazing what a difference dropping out the one option made. Fascinating how one of the options is likely completely for the psychological effect, and not really to provide another option. Fascinating topic.

I just spent $97 (after a 25% discount) on a tux rental today, when I could have gone with a cheaper option that would have been about $60. Is looking about 10% better in the pictures of this event worth the extra $37? I could have spent that $37 on many other things that would have been much more useful to me.
