RE: Greenstreak vs. Lease

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Under Green smudge you can upgrade your 270-2250/1518 to a 270-2432/1519.

This would bring your CPW from 370/30 to 1070/50.  You will remain at a P10
tier yet get lots more CPU.  If you need, or will need in the near future,
more CPU you can get  the upgrade at half off.  You can probably add the
upgrade to your existing lease.  You should experience no software cost and
be able to retain your serial number.  A good deal if you need the
horsepower and have the money.

I'm just looking for input here.  I've been leasing a model 270 under the
developer's program for a little while now, and I just got a call from a
nice lady at IBM who wanted to tell me about Greenstreak.

I'm just wondering what everyone considers the pros and cons of the two
programs.  Is it worth it to move from the developer program to Greenstreak?
Which machine is covered under Greenstreak?  I've got a little 270-2250,
which it seems to me would still be cheaper to buy straight up than go to
the Greenstreak model, even after the discount.
