Hi, Good question and not easy to answer. ACME is expensive AND you will need somebody to configure it in a way you will need it. So as an redundant option your talking about 100-150K.
To buy a big name won't prevent you from implementing, bugsearching. My personal opinion: Take less money, look for good consultants and try it with opensource.
