CDL: Annual Review online/paper

At the risk of posing a question to which there is no easy or definitive
answer, I am wondering if others have wrestled with the issue of
subscribing to some titles online only, instead of print or
print&online.

Specifically,  I have in mind Annual Reviews - www.annualreviews.org.
For 2003 subscriptions the online only price is less than the
print&online.

For 2002, access to print or online only was identical; print&online was
slightly higher than print only, but we seem to have free access to
online while paying for print only.

Any experiences, reflections could prove helpful.

Thanks.
