Is Alcor in fact that much better than CI (plus SA, that is)?

"SA"?

Alcor both stores your body and provides for bedside "standby" service to immediately begin cooling. With CI, it's a good idea to contract a third party to perform that service, and SA is the recommended company to perform that service. http://www.suspendedinc.com/

It depends on how you define that much better, but probably not. The only concrete thing I know of is that Alcor saves and invests more money per suspendee.

I'd guess CI + SA > Alcor > CI.

I didn't know you thought CI + SA was actually better than Alcor regardless of cost. Have you said that in more words elsewhere on this site?
