The cost difference is so big, even the factor of leases shouldn't make a difference. We're talking an order of magnitude usually (from what I've read on the topic). And once you factor in severance packages, etc, it's a no-brainer. It's possible to argue the merits of open versus closed, small teams versus big teams, etc, but any organization using cost of space against productivity is doing something very wrong.
