Am I missing something?
It sounds like you have the math right. It seems like Canadian pricing is crazy high, which is diluting the benefit. $20k divided by 9 MSD's is over $2k monthly payment?!?!

In the US we're capped at 7 MSD's. So I'm putting down $9,800 to save about $77 a month, or $924 a year. That's a 9.4% return. It's a little lower than my earlier post given the change in residual value.
