We're trying to build a service that's more akin to Google Cloud Service and Amazon S3, not Nearline, IA, or Glacier. Those all have certain limitations (like time to access your data) that we are trying to avoid, which is why we didn't price against them and instead priced against the services we're trying to actually provide an alternative to.

If that's so, you should just make that clear. And S3-IA would be on that list. Otherwise, you're just picking & choosing whatever metrics paint you in the best light, which is what would make a prospective customer (like me) or of mine leery. It feels like you're either unaware of the competitive landscape (unlikely) or intentionally skewing the story, or both. And that will scare off potential customers, like me. B2 is exciting! You're doing something innovative! I'm interested! Just tell your story, don't hide the things that make you different, and let the clients choose. B2 is very competitive even with those other services listed - and it makes you seem more credible.
