Ok, I've been as vocal as everyone else on this list about Rev pricing, particularly the fact that it has always seemed a bit quirky to me.

That being said, over time I've come to realize that Rev is well worth what I've paid for it--based on what it DOES for me. If the upgrade cost really bugs you, you can always do what I did--forgo the upgrade for a year and use the older version for until an upgrade comes along with features you feel you *must* have. (For me it was Universal Binary support.)

Just my 2 cents.  YMMV.

Thank you, but I am not referring to the nearest analog for
price and features, but how the price of the upgrade compares
to the original product....

REALbasic Standard is $99, and the Upgrade is $50.
REALbasic Professional is $500, and the Upgrade is $250.
- In both cases, the upgrade cost *about* 1/2 the original price

Revolution Studio is $299, and the Upgrade is $199.
Revolution Enterprise is $899, and the Upgrade is $499.
- in both cases, the upgrade cost is *about* 1/3 the original price

That is true, the percentile mix is higher for Revolution.

Revolution pricing doesn't make professional developers blink but I
can understand how it would for a hobbyist, especially if you have
Studio. If you can put up with the limitations then
Revolution Media
really fits the bill.

I didn't realize that owning Revolution Studio meant that I
am a hobbyist.

I havent had my coffee yet but Im not sure how you connected owning Studio with being a hobbyist :-) If you own Studio then its harder to offset the
cost of your investment.
