Anyone have a reference to how much the appengine pricing reductions are?

Sorry meant in comparison to the old price.

Looks like front and back end instances are down 37.5%. But discounted front end instances seem to have been removed, the new standard F1 price is the same as the old discounted price. If you were optimized for discounted instances, you might not notice too much difference.

Outgoing bandwidth and datastore are the same as before.
