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.
