Jeff-
Sounds like you've pretty well done your homework. The only thing I might add is that the rate your family would pay to call a European mobile number is probably higher than the .17/min. Are you including the Mobile termination fee? For example, though I pay only 8 cents/minute to call the UK from my home landline, the cost to call a UK mobile is 28 cents/minute. That additional mobile termiation fee would be passed on to Verizon who will certainly pass it on to you or your family.
Now, if you've already factored that in and know for certain this is the final rate, then you're good to go.
FWIW, I'm another displaced UM user, temporaily using Sim4Travel, and waiting in the mail for my eKit from Telestial.
