I think it's more useful to be able to build up a more real-world deployment with storage costs, etc all built in, like you can do with PlanForCloud.
That gives you a monthly/yearly final number, which is more useful for comparing against other 'cloud' providers, or for making the point that often it's cheaper to use standard VM or dedicated server providers.
This tool is great, but only if you're only looking at EC2, and I think that's a mistake these days.
