The company will come back with something along the lines of, "But it's much more expensive to live in Paris than in PTC, so they have to pay them more, and they have to pay 50% income tax, and their gubmint pays their health care..." etc.

So, to my way of thinking, it's still apples and oranges.

But in your way of thinking, what argument would you make to the company with this information?
