Use enterprise value for Equinix instead of market cap (enterprise value reflects total firm value including market value of equity and net debt, unlike market cap which only includes equity). Equinix's net debt is some $1.0 bil, so enterprise value would be about $3.7 bil (as of the date of your updated article), which gets even closer to the Barclays/Lehman example (assuming that $330 mil Barclays paid also includes any assumed net debt so as to keep apples-to-apples).
