I guess I'm not quite understanding why you need six staging servers provisioned at $500 a pop? And if you need that because you have a large team...what percentage of your engineering spend is $3000 vs $100k+/yr salaries?

Especially when I got look at the site in question (idealist.org) and it seems to be a pretty boring job board product.

$3000/month = 36k/year

That's more than 1/3 of the cost of a developer there.

That will save you some week of a person's work to set things up and half-a-day every couple of months to keep it running. Rounding way up.
