I'd be really hesitant to assume that anyone who can afford to implement CFMX can afford to implement WebSphere... I haven't looked at it recently, but I remember someone mentioning a figure to me that was well over 10x the cost of CFMX Enterprise. I may be confused and that may include the cost of the hardware, et al, though I'd be surprised if the software alone were terribly inexpensive even after stripping all the extra stuff...
