People will drive across town to save $100 on an air conditioner, but don't bat an eye spending that much extra on a car. But when you spend it, it doesn't matter where it came from.
People aren't 100% rational. Activation fees for things you already have bother people. Even if it came out less this way, it will still be a harder sell.
