To be honest even I prefer to have the cost "absorbed" as: -I have to come up with less money upfront and so keeps my monthly budget intact -it makes getting my head around the numbers easier if I have a nice round number And before you say it...I'm not stupid: I'm a computer science graduate from a top-10 uni, musician and do well in all IQ tests.
