Costco doesn't stack with FREEPAGES, but you can adjust the promos to combine 40%, free pages, and free Costco shipping. If you're going with the basic book, the 40%+FREEPAGE breakeven is just a couple pages extra; if you're going to be adding lay flat, glossy, 6 color printing, matte cover and the like, the break even will be up around 15-20 extra pages as the Costco discount on those extras tips the balance (at the 11x14 size, probably more with a smaller book).
FWIW, we got the 11x14 for my in-laws to commemorate a trip we took to Scotland with them. They opened it on Christmas morning and were all "Oh, look, a book on Scotland* [Underwhelmed Present-Face smile]" We had to make them open it and flip through to see that it was *their* trip that was in the book, at which point they were absolutely thrilled. It took a good 4-5 hours to put together (including some custom graphics) but the product results was really impressive. We've done smaller - 8x10 I think - in the past, and the larger size really makes the book feel more like a professional coffee-table volume.
*I take this as a relative compliment to my cover photo, which could have been on a generic tourist book to Stirling.

Reminds me of when I got my wife custom socks with our dog's face on it. At first she's like oh a dog sock cool. I'm like no that's OUR dog.
