Cass,
The reason they are cheaper is:
1. they take less time to produce
2. The price of the upgrade license is lower.
While the above points are arguable, I've never encountered a contractor who actually charges money for delivering PDFs and a contractor who does not charge for delivering webhelp (or any other format of help), when the source is another format (in my case Word).
