As Edgar said, here in Argentina (or other third world places), the 
same amount of work (and with the same quality) is cheaper.
A short calculous with the same team description would represent a 
budget around 300 thousand dollars here. And that with very decent 
salaries (according with Argentina standards)
I think is something to have in mind: soon or later we will have to do 
the work that no body else wants to do.
