To be honest, I've gotten MUCH better prints, service, and pricing by printing local.  I use the local Meijer (it's like a superstore deal) in Livonia, and use their HP service.  The staff is surprisingly knowledgeable about their work, and the prints are outstanding.  I just can't print nudes there, so I go to a local printer who does for those...which is more expensive.  I don't know where you are located, so I can't point you to places, but I would recommend seeking out local printshops :)  You might be pleasantly surprised with what you get, as opposed to an online service (where you also have to pay for shipping)  Plus...you get th bonus of not having to pay for it if you don't like the quality of the print.

Also - little tidbit...the reason for the drastic price increase in the 24x36....

11x17 prints can be created on a flat printer.  Anything larger needs what's called a "Plotter", or poster printer.  It's a much thicker paper, different ink, and costs more to run the machine.  FYI ;)
