All it really means is that the average 6-book monthly bundle will amortize to $3 per title instead of $2.5.
Of course, Baen did have a fair number of offering overlaps in recent years, but if they're really going to bring more of their unreleased back catalogue into play, then I think the newer Webscriptions may become even more attractive, personally.
I don't really care much for most of what they're currently printing new (just not my style) but I quite like a lot of their older books from before all the MilSF seemed to become so predominant and would love to see them available to read again in ebook format.
And I'd like it if they assembled some more author/series bundles: buy the lot of Ye Olde Epic Fantasy Quartet and save less than the discount you'd get on a Webscription, but enough to help amortize the cost of a standalone book, just like the Subterranean Press and Nightshade release bundles.
