I finally talked with somebody at Jeppeson since they never did email a quote and they talked about the bundles...

Includes nav data, terrain, obstacles, and digital charts for the IFD and up to 4 iPads or PCs for $1267 for the US or $1029 for west of the Mississippi! I guess it's a discount if you were going to go full out to start with.
Just nav data for the US (no bundle pricing) is $465, the west is $385, and a 1 time east coast update is $130 so if you ever plan on crossing the Mississippi, you should have paid for the entire US. The picture on the website is incorrect. It shows west/central as including WI/MI, IL/ID, but when you hover over it, it only shows west of the Mississippi. I sent a screen shot and they confirmed the picture was wrong and it is only west of the Mississippi. That's a shame because I fly from CA to WI about once a year but seldom east of MI. Now I'll have to buy the whole US.
Since flying IFR will avoid obstacles and the terrain doesn't move much, I can't see paying an additional $802 for the bundles when you can get charts for free.
