Yes, I know those are all factors. My only nitty point in the first place was that it's not quite a perfect parallel to the "We'll cover the taxes" situation because while the value of my ipod was guaranteed to be $250 no matter what extra money was paid to me to cover taxes, the price of a product to which sales tax/exise tax is applied stands the chance of being a moving target depending on the specifics of its S&D curves.
But yes, assuming the price stays stable and the full burden of the excise is passed to the consumer, the math is the same.
