that it takes is enough compelling evidence that RunRev isn't going

Rev to be used.
I think you're right that the chances of getting the small to medium sized company to adopt Rev is much higher than that of a corporation. But it's still not very high, IMNSHO.
That's solveable.
The inherent value proposition for Rev as a pro development tool is demonstrably high, and after 14 years there are sufficient examples to make a compelling case.
If the case is not immediately compelling today, what changes could be made at the RunRev site and lesser marketing materials to make the value more self-evident?
One area that has been historically weak at the various incarnations of the RunRev site is demonstrating the scope of the "infrastructure": there has not been (nor is there currently) a page devoted to Conferences and Events, where folks can see that RunRev has acquired an audience sufficient to have three conferences this year alone, with several regional users groups starting up.
Beyond that, what other things might help make the value of choosing Rev more self-evident?
The value's there. The problem isn't the tool, it's communicating what the tool has already accomplished.
