Alternative Voting costs

This seems to have slipped me by but is prompted by Gromit's post below where he talks about the adverts which talk about the cost of the system which they estimate to be £250 million.
HOWEVER, here's the rub. That figure includes having Electronic Counting Machines at a cost of around £100 million - something which is not needed (Australia manage fine without) and that ministers have agreed that they won't have!
They are also including the cost of a 'new' referndum - not taking into account that people are going to the polls in May anyway.
Seems like there is a lot of deception going on.....
