Working with the IBM prices you found (which I assume are the current,
correct prices) the 7391 non-RAID 500/30 Express is $11,475 and clearly
the better deal all around with lease payments of $172.13/mo.  I'm not
sure if this price is inclusive of the 1 year SW maint. fee, though. 
Either way it's a steal.
