So with this switch, it is going to cost me 4x more to run my large POS? Is this correct?

No, it's going to cost about the same. Each run makes 4 blocks of fuel.

Depending on how much HW/LO you used before, small towers will get 10-20% cheaper, medium towers 5-10% cheaper and large towers about 3-6% cheaper.

Small towers gained the most because now their isotope/fuel requirements are exactly 1/4 of a large tower instead of being more like 1/3 of a large tower's fuel needs.

more work to make the stuff, but using it will be much simpler. Easier to gauge how much fuel you have left or need.

Time and effort is isk

You know what, I was going to write an informative post, but it was covered so many freaking times in the comments thread (linked at the top of the dev blog), I'm just going to mess with you.

Consider yourself messed.
