On what basis do you say "appears VERY high"?  On the basis of one
report where somebody got a quote from a Cygnus salesperson for a
*completely* different product?  The actual track record so far is
that our first license was at a very attractive price; a hefty
discount for a valuable existing customer, and *way* under Nutcracker
and such.

(In fact, the very astute might guess that the list price would *have*
to undercut the competition pricewise, so that should give you an idea
of the range.)
