Playing with orientation and style

I saw this nifty chart in the Wall Street Journal last week. The Post Office is competing with Fedex and UPS on pricing. The nice feature about this small dataset is that the story is very clear. In almost every setting, the old USPS prices were higher than those of Fedex and UPS, but have been reduced to below those levels.

Below are a couple of different looks. I like the vertical scale for prices better. Long-time readers will know I prefer the second version with lines.
