Very true. That is a big plus. Wouldn't be worth the $129 premium on the hardware for me personally. Even with travel I pretty much always stay in hotels with free WiFi (look for that when booking) and can charge internet to my company when traveling for work and staying in hotels with pay internet in room.
But having the monthly option is a big plus, and I do agree that probably helps spur sales as it's a nice option for people who just need the 3G here and there when traveling.
