Cox → [KS] Economy / "paks"

Still considering moving TV services to Cox (from Dish...), and am curious about the "Economy" deal. I'd really miss "H2" which Dish just added to our lineup, but in order to get that channel on Cox, it looks like I need "Advanced" tier plus the "Sports and Information Pak"

Every other channel in that "pak" makes complete sense, except for H2.

Anyway, my primary question is:
Why can that no "paks" as the "bonus pak," or "variety" pak be added to the economy tier?

Can the "bonus" pak be added via phone or in-store? Online, it does not appear that this one can be added to Economy, even though it's shown in the channel lineup as something that one "should" be able to add.

The one time I visited the local store regarding this, the rep simply said "no, sorry" but gave no reason. I get it on the "sports" one needing to already have a little ESPN going, but do not understand why the other "paks" can't be added.

Anyone have any info on this?

No matter the case, I'd be fine with econo, sans all that, just think it'd be nice to add a "pak" or 2 if desired, without having to have the cost jump. I also am not that keen on a full "advanced" promo which requires a 2yr. agreement. I've never had a (2yr) "contract" with cable, and don't really have much of a desire to do so.
