I'm not complaining about the extra $1000 in fees over both CCBill and Epoch, but if you REALLY wanted perspective then also point out that your local corner stores pay between 1.5 and 2.5% per transaction as opposed to the whooping 14-17% being paid to the aforementioned 3rd party billers. Your perspective doesn't look so rosy now ...
