Google Storage pricing

Google's done an interesting thing with their storage pricing.
On Google's announcement of the ability to upload any file type to Google Docs, they say:

You'll have 1 GB of free storage for files you don't convert into one of the Google Docs formats (i.e. Google documents, spreadsheets, and presentations), and if you need more space, you can buy additional storage for $0.25 per GB per year.
However, on the Google Storage purchase page, it's not the "pay only for what you use" model that's the crux of much of "the cloud."  Your options are 20 GB, 80 GB, 200 GB.  Nothing in between.  What gives, Google? Will you let us by 31.4 GB rather than 80 GB? On the plus side, that $50 you paid last month for the 200 GB Picasa storage (with "free" Eye-Fi card) is now split between Gmail, Google Docs, and Picasa Web albums.

Now, if only we could link that with a Google Apps account...

UPDATE: Google Apps Premier customers will pay $3.50/GB/yr.  That's a big difference from the consumer $0.25/GB/yr.
