EngineYard uses EC2 so I don't see what the difference could be?
Unless you are comparing a PaaS with a IaaS which is flawed from the
get go, that would be like comparing a Chicken to an Apple as the best
source of protein. By that I mean they both have protein obviously
but one is designed to be a primary protein, the other isn't.

It's more expensive because it's a PaaS and they have costs too,
especially those associated with helping developers do systems
management. Do you think sysops is cheap do you think it's free? In
an environment like that with high-end apps you pay high-end prices
that or you end up with no SLA and no guarantee.

In for a rude awakening when that day comes, better services that tend
to cost more always have a far superior deploy method and far
different deploy method then most simple hosts that use CPanel to
manage their Ruby.
