To be fair, $99 is for the SuperIDE with real time clock. Since the
drivepak does not include a real time clock, it would make more sense
to compare the $75 SuperIDE model.
Also, to get to $156 you're adding 2 drives, but since the drivepak
only supports one drive, it would probably make more sense to add only
the cost of one of them. Cloud9 will include media with the
controller if you want, but not sure what all the prices and options
are.
I think there are also some changes coming with the pricing of the
addon software and other options, but I don't know the details.
