Have fun with it! For the price, you can't go wrong. Also, FM is really good about upgrading/downgrading (at least the last time I tried it), so if you end up not using it, you can downgrade, and FM will give you a pro-rated credit that can be used to buy other services at FM. (i.e.: You won't get a refund to your credit card, but you will have a balance at FM to use for renewals or other upgrades, etc.)

In my testing, I couldn't get this kind of static file performance from services that cost a lot more. Again, the downsides are that it is very limited (static/flat only), the log/usage data is nonstandard, and you have unusual throttling caps (which are actually pretty generous depending on the level of upgrade, so don't worry too much about that).

Bottom line if the downsides are okay for you = NO BRAINER. :-) Just do it.
