You are actually also still charged 4 cents an hour in addition to the 
reservation. Putting it close to 24ish/mo

I have 1 ec2 Instance and a rackspace cloud instance. 

So far I like the rackspace cloud Better. Its been faster learning curve. 

Rackspace is 11/mo for 256mb
Ec2 is 24-30ish for 1gb

The smaller mem isn't bad for me as this is a dev box. 

Apples to apples, rackspace 1gb machine is similarly priced to ec2. 

Hope that helps.
