I have a low cost dedicated RaQ2, and yes you do get what you pay for! My
service provider has lousy tech support (I do have a clue, and when I'm
calling, I ask for something specific, but twice the guy at the other end
has disagreed with me said something else was wrong (which it wasn't) but
got quite rude about it. Soon shut up when I emailed him the evidence!)

Their bandwidth is just great, and their reliability is good. In fact,
because of their service, I can afford the dedicated system for my personal
use. There are few dedicated providers which charge a price I can justify
for personal use of a CobaltRaQ.

However, if I was running a business, I'd go with the higher price
everything included handholding technical support types of dedicated
hosting/colocation because it makes business sense - I'd want to be
concentrating on my core business, not keeping a RaQ running and connected.

It all depends on what you want to do.
