Comparing an m1.medium EC2 instance w/ 96GB EBS volume to a 4GB Linode (ignoring the fact that you're probably getting at least 2x CPU with Linode), you're looking at ~$100/mo for EC2 and $80/mo for Linode. If you take full advantage of Linode's 8TB/mo of included transfer, AWS is going to cost you an extra ~$1000 (assuming 100% outbound).
