Making options and benefits clear

I recently purchased a new software package and had to hunt all over the vendor's site for information on which version would best meet my needs.

Yahoo Mail uses a comparison table to promote the benefits of Yahoo Mail Plus:

Information about each feature is available without leaving the comparison chart:
