Unless you have to pay $150 cash (I've never done this) - then you'd have $278 of airfare for $150.
Still a net of $128, but you'd have the $150 outlay...
Right here is the math for a regular booking
Original price paid: $278
Change fee: $150
New ticket (inlcuding previous fare credit): $400
total paid for ticket: $550
now take away the refund from Expedia
actual total paid for new ticket = $400 price + $150fee - $278 expedia discount=
$272
$272<$400
