No not by any means cheaper but economical in terms of having all the different Vista versions on one single DVD instead of having the trouble of buying each separately. Hacker's heaven you bet that's for sure as for installing multiple versions of each OS in one PC.
But the real question is the licensing. How will the licensing terms be handled? Will it be handled by each install per PC, CPU, Dual-CPU or Quad-CPU? ALso will the multi-version vista be preloaded on each OEM PC or user installed? WIll one disk per PC be the normal channel? Will they come withe a restore disk?

More convenient? Perhaps. More economical? Probably not. Easy impulse purchase for added Microsoft $$$s? Most definitely.
