Odd, because EF quotes $4167 USD:

I don't see a local currency in EF's drop-down; I did the EF query using USD.

The KVS table above shows a DONEWC4 costing more than a DONE4, while my EF query shows a DONEWC4 as much less expensive. Very odd, since one would expect the relative cost difference to be accurate even if the currency conversion is incorrect.
