Strikes me that you’re seeing a pyramid effect of products where the apex is Nuke Studio which combines all the best pieces for the current editorial/comp packages. Arguably you have Nuke and Heiro player on the bottom row, followed by NukeX and Heiro on the next row and toped by NukeStudio. This is a rather similar sort of set up that Autodesk had/has and tends to be one that facility owners can quickly grasp. The more likely you are to have a client standing over your shoulder the higher the cost of the product and the more all inclusive it becomes.
From the worker-bee perspective, it’s totally based on need. Most compositors aren’t going to need a full Heiro license and likewise most effects editorial folks won’t need a full Nuke license. From my perspective Nuke Studio essentially allows one to finish a show/commercial in the same env as your compositors and using conventions that just plug into that environment. Very clever product. Very clever.
