What is the least expensive way to get SQL Server 2008 R2? Do we buy it as a standalone product or is it cheaper to upgrade our SBS 2008? Or, should it have been included in our SBS 2008?

Looking at SBS 2011, it looks like getting the premium add on might be the cheaper option...

The SBS 20112 Premium Add-on adds SQL to Microsoft’s Small Business Server platform. Larger SMBs and home offices that must run centralized databases will require the upgrade if they want to leverage line-of-business applications needing SQL Server. With the add-on, the SBS platform receives SQL Server 2008 R2 for Small Business, which has the same capabilities as SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard but is for specific use within the SBS 2011 environment. -TR
