For 600 crystals, you can do 12 normal refreshes which is 1440 energy over 4 days
For 600 crystals you can do 6 cantina refreshes which is 720 energy over 2 days
What we get is "15% cheaper energy"
the 600 crystal packs give
900 normal energy (540 less than what you get with cheap refreshes)
640 cantina energy (80 less energy than what you get with cheap refreshes)
How is this a 15% discount?

you save like 50+ crystals on one and 100 crystals on the other... not really a good reason to spend twice what you probably wouldn't even be normally be spending...
I buy refreshes at 50-100. this "discount" is if you go beyond that to 200/refresh... so its a fools purchase. and whales don't care about saving 50-100 crystals.
It's a discount if you spend 3 refreshes every day and you want more energy but cheaper than 100 per refresh.
It's a "discount" because the refresh costs get really high if you were to buy that much energy in one day. For example, you have to pay 3×100 + 2×200 = 700 crystals for 600 cantina energy.
I really don't like the odd amounts of energy. Just make it a multiple of 120.
its only really a deal if you go up to 200 crystals per refresh EVERY day. and those whales don't care about saving 50-100 crystals on a 1-time deal (repeats 1/week for 3 weeks)
It's for panic farming. Not for people doing a couple refreshes a day.
Thank you for posting this - I was looking at it thinking 'what am I missing?'. Turns out all I was missing is that sometimes EA lie.

I'm doing because the hard node refreshes are cheap right now and it's really speeding up my KOTOR farms. Just remember a KOTOR legendary is on the horizon, don't say you weren't warned :)
Thanks for posting this. I already pulled the trigger on the Cantina one and then realized this afterwards. But I'm guessing their timeframe for panic farming the KOTOR guys is going to be extremely tight. This is still cheaper than buying shards from the regular shop since it's cheaper than the 200 refreshes.
Just for reference purposes, I took the bait for the Cantina Energy and got 14 Vao shards out of it. 600/14 = 42.9 crystals/shard, decent return (I know this is one isolated incident)
This is in one day, not two or four days. Your comparison makes no sense.
Oh it's a terrible deal compared with what you get over 4 days I agree, and said as much in Discord last night.
However, this is 900 energy in 1 day. Compare how much it costs to buy 900 energy in a single day through refreshes vs this pack.... 3x50c, 3x100c 1x200c = 650c for 840 energy.
Exactly this. Nothing more amazing to have that pack when you are 20-30 shards away on your cantina character. How many more people would've made it to Rey, if there was this pack at that time
I actually bought both - basically doubles your daily farming capacity
