Now that makes absolutely no sense. I'd be willing to bet that others have
had the opposite happen.

Eric,
The answer is "it depends." At one time, we asked for pricing on
upgrading our 2086-260 to a 2086-270 (microcode upgrade) versus
replacing our mainframe with a z9 BC. The estimates we got from the IBM
business partner was that it would cost about 50% more to do the
microcode upgrade than to bring in a new box.
