I think his email was a call for ccie candidates to do something about
that unfair advantage.
The email I replied to was a reply to Nashkur's email that basically
said customers of the 360 program are buying an unfair advantage. And
that those who chose not to pay that premium have take the full lab
and "earn" the CCIE.
That "preferred package" is a bundle of Cisco 360 Program products.
The cost is what a 360 student/customer pays (if you buy the package
from that vendor) for a package similar to IPExperts BLS. In other
words, if I spend more money for the 360 program I could be exempt
from taking the OEQ, while other ccie candidates who can't afford the
product or choose a vendor who is not licensed by Cisco do not get the
same privilege the day of the lab. Basically re-enforcing the feeling
that some people are earning the ccie and others are buying it. Which
I think is what was said on the email I replied to.

Let's do the math...
One of the other vendor's "Preferred Package" = $4550
CCIE LAB = $1350 (plus travel expenses)
IPExpert BLS bundle = $2499
CCIE LAB = $1350 (plus travel expense)
If you pass on your first try you save ~$2000 with IPExpert.
If you pass on your second try you still save with IPExpert.
Earning your CCIE priceless!
Sorry, but I really failed to get your point here.
If I understand it well, Nashkur was talking about 360 program's
students having some sort of "benefit" by skipping OEQ section. It's
an unffair advantage that one could have just for being a 360
student/customer.
What packages prices has to do with this ?
