Sorry, guys. I realized I probably should not be talking about it in as specific terms on a public mailing list. I've calmed down and spoken to our salesguy; the change is not nearly as egregious as it seemed. Our management is still going to fuss and holler about it, but I don't feel like we're being gouged anymore.
If it helps, I totally misheard the pricing and what I wrote below isn't even close to being accurate.
