Actually, that's wrong.  You can't just amortize the difference in tile
value, because that difference is not a one time payment.  Every turn
after then will also pay the difference, so you need to do an
amortization of a perpetuity.  (That's the accounting classes talking. :)

Anyway the discussion was in PR#7249, go have a look.
