The ECC version costs $81/mo at Hetzner.
3 years reserved c4.8xlarge costs $501/mo at EC2.
If you can commit for 3 years, why would you pay a 6x markup for "elasticity"? (11x if you commit for only 1 year...)

You're comparing a single low-end chip vs a server with multiple cutting edge chips. Everyone knows you pay more for the fastest chips. If budget is the only criterion then there are many less expensive instances.
