I'm on the fence. On another forum there was talk that Qobuz is having financial problems and needs a cash influx.  I've got the yearly plan at $130 and this deal would approach $400 up front.  If they are having financial problems -- and I have no idea one way or the other -- can they keep up their end of the bargain?  I'm leaning toward suffering a $10 or $15 buck increase rather than being out $400 if they are not financially healthy enough to honor their obligation. But I'm going to think about it a bit more before making a final decision.

>> "But for those that ask if the price will rise. Well, of course it will, this is capitalism."

That's not always true -- sometimes innovation and competition lowers prices.  I bought my first computer in 1980 for $2,000 -- B&W screen, 2 floppy drives, no hard drive, and the memory was 128K, double what was standard at the time. I bought a new PC last week for $330. It has a 1 TB drive, 32 G of RAM and tons of other features that were non-existent in 1980. 

I like Qobuz a lot, mainly for how they present new releases on a weekly basis and let me find new artists in my preferred genres. Much better than any of the other services I've tried. So I've decided to stick with them on a yearly basis. If they go belly-up or prices go up too much, there are plenty of alternatives. And I already have my own large collection of music I love so the worst that can happen to me is that I go back to how I obtained music in the decades before streaming.
