While I have made fun of the support plan, don't think that it is because it
"is not much better" it just isn't what most people think. They aren't going
to reach in and re-write your code, and if you are on MS it doesn't
magically fix those limitations. If you have down time, likely there is an
outage and it won't help with that.
 
Support however is invaluable if you are going to do a migration, or if you
need deep information about how something works.  If you have a big client
it is also worth it to get the guarantee that your terms won't change for
however long, and that you can say "Yes I spoke with Google they estimate
resolution in X hours"
 
Getting priority support is also worthwhile if you want to make sure you
have early access to features so that you can test them before they are
fully deployed. 
 
Lastly, having a support rep is good for making sure Google knows what your
app does, so that when decisions are being made, you are a use case they are
aware of.  $500 a month is cheap for all of this if you really are running
at Enterprise scale.  25% of your monthly bill for support is cheap.  
 
For people with $100 a month bill, yes this looks daunting, but at the risk
of sounding like a pompous ass (which I am) if you are that small, you don't
need any of the things I outlined above.

If you have read what people say about the "Premium" support service, you
should know that its not much better neither.  It could still take days to
just get a reply.

If you want a service with official support, AppEngine is not where you
should go.
