A spreadsheet doesn't waste time in the negotiation dance. I'll gladly pay for convenience and directness, which I do frequently.

Think of it this way, given the choice between paying X for a service, or having to "Call for pricing..." which will you do?

Personally I'd take the X option even if it cost more.

And that doesn't mean you can't still call for a better deal.

The sticker price should at least help you scope out whether your project is feasible on their system.
