Yes, for a rack with 20 or fewer servers, 208 volt pricing seems to be okay now. Just using APC's list pricing as an example:

one 208x30 AP7541 $280 (20 receptacles)
two 120x30 AP9560 $414 (20 receptacles)
three 120x20 AP9563 $378 (30 receptacles)

If you are filling a cabinet with 20 2U servers and a switch, then the AP7541 will be one receptacle short; but for many people (including me), it's enough.

There are more "off brands" (cheap) for 120x20 power strips, so you can still get three 120x20s cheaper if that's you're priority.
