ReadyNAS Vault : great but overpriced!

I'll add my voice to the chorus. I set up a NV+ for a small survey firm in my town. They have something like 16 GB of data stored. Very happy with the product. To accomplish online backup for them, I set up the backup tool in FrontView to backup all data to a folder on the hard drive of one of their computers, with nightly incremental backups. Then we setup Carbonite on that computer. For $50 per year, the files are backed up offsite nightly. Granted the backups aren't instant, they do happen nightly, but it ultimately means I can bring them back to where they were no more than a day earlier should they suffer a major loss.
Here at my own employer, I have about 300 GB of data on our ReadyNAS 1100. I totaled it up and Vault would cost me $150/month at least. I am about to decommission an old desktop box with a big hard drive in it to function as a "Carbonite Server" box. There's no way they can expect to please customers with these prices.
