The problem is, most of these tools get into companies by developers using that stuff in their sparetime or by private financing (often you have to fight for tools) so having a tool which developers need in the 4000 dollars pricerange means that you lose customers in the long run, because none of the devs will start to try and use it. Probably Borland should use another scheme, like a small devs license and an Enterprise license, both for the same product but heavily reduced on price for the small devs license. Most developers neither want a 30 days eval nor do have the money to be able to afford those tools on their private budget.
