MS365 A3 Or the cheaper A1 + EMS A3?

Hi All, Seen a lot of discussion over the past year in regards to A3 licensing and converations more recently about A1 + Enterprise Mobility & Security A3.. Our school has been hit by redundancies and we just lost our network manager who was adamant on MS365 A3 licensing. I've been crunching numbers and researching our licensing situation and am now looking to propose to the school we go for A1 + EMS A3 as it provides essentially the same functionality (that we actually need currently) for around £8000 less a year. As far as I can see, we will retain the following: Conditional Access InTune Microsoft Defender 1:40 Student use benefit (EMS A3) 365 Apps for enterprise (although due to examination accounts having no internet access and Office 2024 having basically the exact same functionality, I'm opting to not deploy this... Maybe for staff, but not student devices). We get our office and windows upgrade licensing via OVS: Microsoft - DsktpEdu ALNG LicSAPk OLV F 1Y Acdmc Ent which allows us to buy barebones devices and license via KMS. EMS A3 is OVS based licensing, so this move would also bring everything under one agreement Is there anything I'm missing with this setup? I have a call with our licensing provider tomorrow who will fill in the details, but wanted to see what the view was here. Cheers,
