My only comment was that, apples to apples, an 8 year contract at anywhere around 10.5 is nigh unbeatable financially. It’s certainly not the $1m difference Cobra suggested.

I never suggested that it was a $1M difference.
I suggested that 8 years at $80M was about the same as 7 years at $76M.
It was you who seemed to say total dollars meant everything, and I used the example of you suggesting that $80M for 8 years was better than $79M for 7 years.
