>Not having to wait 4-8 hours to access them I can't download the data that fast anyways, it is a total non issue for us. >Glacier access costs can get expensive depending on the quantity of data you need to access in a short period of time Yeah, it is for backups. That's why we are talking about how we use it for backups. >We're quibbling over ~$250/year? Times the "few TB" we are talking about, that is over a$1k a year, as I said. We're not quibbling. I asked a simple question. Why would I take the time and effort to move my backups from a 1c/GB service to a 3c/GB service? There is no upside. "You can pay an extra $1000 for no reason, which is a great idea because $1000 isn't very much" is not very compelling.
