Thanks Austin, I believe you are correct. According to
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/reserved-instances:

"Reserved Instances are easy to use and require no change to how you use
EC2. When computing your bill, our system will automatically apply
Reserved Instance rates first to minimize your costs. An instance hour
will only be charged at the On-Demand rate when your total quantity of
instances running that hour exceeds the number of applicable Reserved
Instances you own."

Dan, have you tried this yet? Any issues?
