Not that I'm privy to your mind, but it probably was tesseract (and this is my exact experience too...although for me it was about 12 years ago).

Relocating isn't just about cost. There's schools, friends, other support systems, general familiarity with the area. It's not easy to just pick up an relocate, and not from a financial point of view.
