Later was what I was suggesting. it's easy to do, in one word : pragmatic !

In OO sense, it doesn't make sense that virtuals have a price even. Yes true, but difficult to manage because product UI is generalised and morevover because of your point below. >However, in > user-interface sense, users would want to have a "standard price" set for all > variants, for ease > of use if for nothing else. > Hence, I can see why some users might want to tie currency/price to virtuals. Yes true, OO heritage ;o). So remains the case of different currencies for different variants.

I just want to know if nobody see drawbacks in arguments above, or have better ideas ?
