Allow Incremental DISK (Database Storage) Expansion in excess of tier limits

The tier level price jump is significant simply for more storage space. My preference would be that the tier pricing be more targeted to the CPU and MEMORY with a base storage limit plus price per GB per month over that size.

Is there any updates on this item since it went under review? We have a database that isn't pushing up to CPU or RAM limits, but does require more disk space. The price increase is rather steep to go up to the next option just for disk space, plus the unnecessary compute would just sit there wasted.
