Moving EC2 elastic IPs can take a while in my experience, and also time for creating servers can be unpredictable. With the BrightBox stuff "Load Balancers are normally created and handling traffic within 90 seconds.", also the video here http://blog.brightbox.co.uk/posts/announcing-brightbox-cloud-the-uks-first-true-iaas-platform http://blog.brightbox.co.uk/posts/announcing-brightbox-cloud... seems to show server booting and ip assigning as pretty snappy. If they can maintain this responsiveness in the face of lots of production usage then it would be a good selling point.
