Great comments, Gary.
The entire point of the network is to be more cost effective for MAJORITY of people. If you use full tilt then you're totally right. Our goal with making it pay-as-you-go instead of a monthly flat fee it so most people get better bang for their buck.
Regarding site PR, there was a test of 560 articles on BMR and it had an average PR of 1.82. Our average PR is 2.78. Google themselves state that PR is on an exponential scale, meaning a link on a PR2 is worth 10x a link on a PR1. By that same logic, our links are conveying roughly 10x the power.
I can't speak directly to the other services as I haven't used them at all. I've not read anything really positive about them that made me want to hop on.
I've heard Blog Blueprint can have 300 OBL. We average 15 OBL with a max at around 30. I've already read it's the "poor man's linkvana", which we all know isn't as effective as it was 6 months ago. And others complained about them taking sites offline, having exit popups for their service, and posting to PR0s.
In any event, the service is exactly what it claims to be. It's suitable for a lot of people, but probably not you since you max out your BMR. There are no gimmicks, goofy word press plugins, link swaps, software installs, or anything like that.
But if you want to be on the (by far) highest PR network with low OBL then you can.
