OR, you've booked & purchased an itinerary, but according to another thread I saw today, this could be canceled within 24 hours w/ no penalty, e.g., full refund (seems too good to be true); BUT, if you make a change to that purchased itinerary, the $150 applies?

You've got it right. I don't know why you would want to modify the already held reservation when it would be easier to just book the lower fare once you've found it. I've never had to cancel within 24 hours before, but it is supposedly stated somewhere on the website.
