That's not quite the actual pricing RunRev use. (I think you calculated 
the "UK  - GBP" prices by currency conversion - obvious but not correct 
:-).   The pricing is in fact:

Dreamcard
in the US: USD 99
rest of the world : GBP 69 or local equivalent

Rev Studio
in the US : USD 299
rest of the world : GBP 199 or local equivalent

Not a huge difference today (though it was a bigger difference a year 
ago when the exchange rate was over 1.9) - but worth explaining for the 
sake of those who've just bought at the higher, actual price.

For what it's worth (i.e. nothing) I think Rev's pricing is quite low - 
the only thing I think is too expensive is the per-platform add-on for 
Studio. I'd like to see it cost the same as a Dreamcard license. I can't 
see the support etc. costs for a second platform being high enough to 
require a cost of 2/3 of the initial cost. And a more aggressive price 
for additional platforms would make it unnecessary to consider using 
Studio on your main platform and Dreamcard on any secondary platform.
