I've just gone back to check this again. The standard subscription price is $36/year. The difference between the $40 and the $145 level is $105 and four years subscription - i.e. $26.25 per year. That's only a 27% discount on the standard subscription price, and it's in dollar today, not two/three/four years down the line.
You were right, I think. The $40 level is the sweet point (unless you also want Fantasy back issues).
Luckily, I find you can change your pledge amount at any point up until the kickstarter closes!
I'm now on the $40 level, and a lot happier.
$5 for the three special issues - $1.67 each
$35 for 60 issues (48 back issues and 12 subscription issues) at $0.58 per issue.
Even accounting for already owning ten of the back issues, that makes it $0.70 per issue. A definite bargain.
Your comments helped me make a much better decision — thanks.
