And that's if you're silly enough to pay list price for the IFL. Not too many people do that I'm aware of. The downside of course is the second z/VM LPAR and all that entails in the way of infrastructure and care and feeding. With the current z/VM pricing model, wouldn't the 5th license come cheaper than that? (I forget where the price breaks are positioned.)
