hi
since i don't quite understand the meaning of "bang-on" (*) i wanted to point out that what you say corresponds exactly to what i said. with open-source you always know what is wrong, at least theoretically (and thus can fix it, once again, at least if you have the time and knowledge).Your point about commercial support is bang-on, though. The main reason I use free software is not because it's so much better than commercial software, and not because it's free. I use it because I can fix it when something goes wrong. When commercial software goes wrong, your only option is often to toss it, and install an open-source equivalent which isn't broken in quite the same way.
i completely agree that costs and quality are not the main arguments (and i never named those), especially because talking about something as a radius server the decision is almost always carried out by people who will hardly take the dollars out of their own pockets.
ciao

(*) sounds like "bullshit" to me :-)
