I second that - sandboxing seems out of place there. Clustering and many other Enterprise features , almost by definition, indicates dedicated hardware (and the budget for it). Sandboxing on the other hand seems a feature specifically allowing people to extend hardware to multiple apps (since, presumably, they don't have the budget for dedicated hardware). This typifies a hoster/hosted relationship. Perhaps a third "Host" version priced something higher than pro, but something much lower than Enterprise that is basically "Pro + Sandboxing".
