Lensman said "get a real host", I'm assuming he meant Jupiter. Is a server setup worth twice as much being non-cogent and managed?

Earlier in this thread Lens was trying to discredit Rackshack by saying that they used cogent bandwidth. Whereas the truth is that (to the best of my knowledge) Rackshack only uses Cogent with their unmetered 10mbps plans.
If you're going to compare prices you should really be comparing apples with apples, ie you should be nominating a plan that is is non-cogent (eg any plan but the 10mbps plans), where the box has identical specs and where they offer identical bandwidth.
Maybe Lens could give us a price on a P4 2.0 Ghz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, 700GB bandwidth running Redhat. At Rackshack that'll set you back $129/month with a $1 set-up fee. Then if you want it to be fully managed you can go to easyservermanagement.com and pay an extra $99/month which gives us a total of $228/month plus a $1 setup fee.
What would Jupiter charge for the same deal?
