Why not make money on volume? Has everybody lost this idea? If the lower
priced software were truely a "lesser" product - like didn't thread SMTP
clients for instance, then I could get along with your charging different
prices. In that scenario, I really am getting more for more money. Of
course in my model I also get less for paying less.
