The example gives [with my annotations] "m4.2xlarge [8 core] US East [...] can automatically apply to 2 m4.xlarge [4 core] instances in us-east-1a [AZ flexible]

The example gives [with my annotations] "m4.2xlarge [8 core] US East [...] can automatically apply to 2 m4.xlarge [4 core] instances in us-east-1a [AZ flexible] or 4 m4.large [2 core] instances in us-east-1b [AZ, again, flexible]". You reserve larger instances and can slice it up however you want with instances equal or lesser in core [and memory] size.
The bigger win, for me, is the AZ flex, as it is a pain to manage multi-AZ setups.
