With everyone else dropping prices, it seems that The Foundry are the only ones raising it.
I would say that if, even for a CG house like Doug mentioned before, Nuke will come with all the NukeX features, all of a sudden having that Particle Generator will be a plus. NukeX is useful for all, just too expensive.
