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".
