Some comparative data:

RealBASIC Standard      $99

RealBASIC Pro          $399

Macromedia Flash:      $699

Macromedia Director: $1,199 (per platform)

Toolbook Instructor: $2,495 (only one platform available)


Two factors to consider:

1. the value of price-positioning

2. the lower the price, the more support costs will rise 
disproportionate to sales by attracting users with less professional 
experience developing applications.


If one feels strongly about the potential for lower price points there's 
nothing stopping them from demonstrating that point with their own 
product and report back here with the hard data on how the price drop 
affected total ROI.

Personally, I think Rev is priced too low.
