Commercial developers should buy Studio at least.
Well, perhaps this has the potential to get into a "Is so!"-"Is not!" type conversation :-) but I would hesitate to make such a generality. If a commercial developer doesn't like Studio because of its behavior, then it's either Enterprise, Studio + Express, or two Expresses.
Studio + Express doesn't sound so smooth, because they have different upgrade policies and you would either have to not update Studio so much or get a new Express often to keep up--so the price wouldn't be that great in the long run. Also, it's nice to really do the final compile on the platform too. So to me, if not for the splash screen, the two Expresses would look better than Studio.
I'm still not sure if any of that will affect me or not, depending on the new upgrade routes, I may be able to just do Enterprise instead, and so, no problem. But if I was new to Rev, or if the upgrade routes didn't work out, I would look hard at the Expresses before deciding on Studio. That's one reason why I made sure to voice my opinion on the promo screen.
The other reason I've already stated more than once, but I might add to it--since what you said brings up a good point related to it--that beside commercial software, promo screens aren't really acceptable for shareware either--not anymore. And if you look at the variety of products that use them right now, I think you'll see that they give an impression that does not match, IMO, what one should be purchasing with Rev Express. But enough said about that!
