I mean, who actually uses EVERY feature in Enterprise, and NO additional products? don't know if the buyers of the dev-tool unit will be in a position to market some of the high-end technologies (like ECO), but I'd be more willing to buy some of them as add-ons than to have to choke the whole kit down.
