See https://groups.io/static/pricing; about $220/yr for most of what we 
need (middle tier).

I don't know about groupspaces.com. Might be ok. Never heard of them.

There are fun to professional to tech to insane groups there. I belong 
to a few of each category.

Migration is another story.

Let's all say a prayer to St Robin of Miller and pray for his grace (and 
sense of dark humour).
