The $$$ package I happened to work with for five years was protel99SE. I 
had the same experience. In some aspects it was much more advanced than 
geda. But for others the switch to gschem/pcb was a revelation. And that 
was back in 2006 ;-)
I have less experience with eagle. But from what I saw, it also comes with 
a mix of well done aspects and terrible clutches.

For what its worth, I fell that the EDA suites to compare to is not $$$ 
but kicad. And the most important customers to cater for would be high 
profile open hardware projects.
