We've been there, Harv, but the issue isn't money; it's the fact that grelber is stuck behind a 5Kbps dial-up modem and is unable to d/l the installer (unless, that is, he's willing to tie up his phone line for 9 1/4 days).
Why is a second download needed again? Isn't there an "InstallESD.dmg" file tucked away somewhere?
What I did was use SuperDuper to clone the InstallESD.dmg image onto my TM backup. (When SuperDuper makes a clone, it will carefully step around any TM backup on the destination volume, leaving it unscathed. The result is a single volume that is both a TM backup and a Lion Install disk.)
