I don't know... MX seems downright cheap to me. Not personally of course, but most small-midranged sites (at least any site that would have to buy the server) would be in the range of several thousand to several 10s of thousands of dollars. For smaller sites the key is finding a good CF host (and more of them are appearing all the time). It also depends, unfortunately, on regional rates. In my case (Boston) $100/hour is pretty average, so CFMX Pro is equivalent to less than a day's work. And since it saves (generally) more than it makes sense. If you're working at $25/hour however then it's nearly a week of work... A much harder sell. Again, for a really small site however you're not looking the cost of the server, you're looking at the hosting costs. For developer's in this scenario Macromedia (and Allaire before them) have generally been great about providing free/low cost developer tools. > Flash Generator/Comm Server is even worse. Now that I can agree one... Although much of the Comm server functionality (if not all) is built into CFMX so that, at least, is one thing you don't have to buy.
