"2. EOM and EOS are important, but IMHO prices are more important. In
many cases it is cheaper to replace machine than to buy service contract
for existing (old) one. And it is rather cheaper to buy newer model even
if new and new-1 are available."

The purchase  of hardware is CAPEX. The purchase of a service contract is
OPEX. OPEX is an expense and affects income, therefore you do not  have to
pay income tax on it. CAPEX affects fixed assets and there are taxes to be
paid on it.

There is a point where it is less expensive to replace, say a model with
one that is newer (maybe a z13 with  a z16). But in general, it is less
expensive to maintain an existing piece of equipment  than to buy a new one
  (depreciation and all).

CAPEX can be converted to OPEX i.e. by using leasing services. There are also other tricks. Regarding prices - I do not have to convince anyone, but ...I used to buy mainframes and I simply see IBM offerings. Depending on time perspective *usually* it is more effective (cheaper) to buy new equipment than buy service for existing one. My advice: buying new hardware is the best time to think about service for all life of it. Extending support after first year tend to be more expensive, especially when new machine is available.
