I can tell you now, the sales volume would be MUCH less if the price
went up... yes, they have great functionality, but a lot of people are
buying them because of the price alone. Even if an RB532 went up to only
$200, it becomes more cost effective to buy Trango, Canopy, etc. for
less money (because you still have to add antenna, radio card, pigtail,
etc.).
Mikrotik, StarOS, etc. are selling because of price. The extra features
are just a bonus. :)

Isn't the reason most people are using MT is because of the cost? How
many people would buy a RB532 if it was $500? or $1,000? What is
everyone's limit? ;)
I can't speak for others, but I would assume that most people buy them
for the same reason I do (did)...Function. It has nothing to do with
cost, though that is certainly a factor. I can't speculate on how
many would buy if it were $500 (or whatever)...
