You are comparing the reserved price which isn't apples to apples. Even so, you are correct.
The m1.large rate in the east is $0.240/hour and the rackspace instances is $0.48/hour. http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/public-pricing/ http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/public-pricing/
Also, don't forget that the heavy reservation is billed for every hour in the term, not when you have it turned on.
> With this RI [Heavy], you pay a little higher upfront payment than Medium Utilization RIs, a significantly lower hourly usage fee, and you’re charged that lower hourly rate for _every hour in the Reserved Instance term you purchase_.

That's why I compared prices to "medium utilization". Again, Rackspace doesn't have prepaid option similar to "heavy utilization". And I didn't mention instances reserved for "3 years" which result in even larger discount, if you're interested in long-term solution
