TLDR; the €59/mo EX 4S scores higher (1729) than AWS m2.4xlarge (1511).

That number for AWS is based on running the benchmark in May 2010 [1].

I'm not sure AWS have updated their specs since then (all the specs for an ECU refer to a 1Ghz 2007 Xeon). We also tested our staging c1.xlarge and it scored less than the cloudharmony results indicated a c1.xlarge should.
