Unfortunately I don't know, I only heard about the support duration from one of our systems IT guys. Even if it isn't more expensive (or even if it's cheaper) companies will prefer the longer license because IT staff migrating these machines costs a lot of money (and sometimes the migration isn't without problems which costs even more) so they try to minimize the frequeny of migrations as much as possible.

Ive been out of touch with that stuff for awhile, which why I asked. Just the shorter duration is ridiculous, I'm assuming that's the tip of the iceberg.
