Hmm... It looks like for smaller machine types the packet bare metal machines are quite a bit more expensive than the equivalent cloud provider VMs, but as you move to larger machine types Packet's pricing doesn't continue to grow linearly (making them more competitive).
Also, I would need to do some further research to understand how to fairly compare the physical CPU cores on the bare metal systems w/ the vCPUs offered across the major cloud VMs.
