Yep seems like they have already factored that cost in. Just like it has been for Astartes squads for a while. You buy a squad, and for the points you get 4 plebbs and 1 sarge.
GW must have noticed that having the option to pay 8 pts on top of the 8 you just payed in order to get the "opportunity" to give a 20 point whip to a 1 wound T3 guy with practically no armor save in a squad that was supposed to specialize in shooting, was not exactly a stellar deal.
