If my math is right, the 50W difference, at my power rate of $0.15/kWh, will take 2666 hours and 40 minutes to make up the $20 difference in price.
In europe that situation will be wildly different. Here in germany you won't get under 0.50$/kWh (edit: more like .30 now) so it's more like 500 to 800 hours
Edit 2: wow, thanks for the hint! I just halved my prices by switching
wait what? i'm paying ~0.30$/kwh at the moment in germany
Dang! I must have missed the prices dropping. I'll change my subscription then i guess
