Or too little. I still suffer from the "it's not expensive enough to be a REAL enterprise app" syndrome. The belief is that WebSphere (depending on load out at upwards of 10 times CF enterprises cost) is a "better" because it's more expensive. CF 8 (either standard or enterprise) is, unfortunately too expensive for me personally - but the price is far from unreasonable when you look at the universe of options.
