Does it cost AE more to charge me less miles? Or maybe there is a ClassicFlight system access fee that they are charging?

It is very clear that Aeroplan is effectively charging SE's additional money in lieu of miles for the right to buy a classic ticket. Dishonest and unethical as that is I bet they do nothing to correct it.
