This is a nice idea - I definitely have a use for something like this.
Feature request: something I routinely find myself calculating/re-calculating is which provider will give me the most CPU/RAM/bandwidth/storage per dollar.
For example, I may not care how my individual boxes/instances are configured. It makes no difference to me whether I have one instance with 16GB of RAM or 16 instances each with 1GB of RAM...as long as there is a total of 16GB RAM in my cluster, and I'm paying as little as possible.
Nice. Something like list of cheapest providers in a given resource. Goes for my list :)
BTW. Check the advanced mode - it has an option to distribute resources - just select "distribute" checkbox. It will find the cheapest option for that - it may then split over multiple servers if it is cheaper. One thing to remember though - it will always try to distribute on servers of the same type. Sometimes it would be better to have N boxes of type X and then one box of another type. I don't have it.

This especially applies to bandwidth.
