I support companies that can give me the most, with the least amount of fuss. I rather pay $100 for something that does everything I want, and does it well, in 1 package than pay $50 for something that does half the things I want at a average level at that. unless I spend time switching between that and 2 or 3 other apps to get all the info I want of course. I wouldn't pay $900 like how it use to cost though. Thats just robbery. But $100? not so much if it delivers.
