Pricing structure

Didn't see anywhere else to make this comment. I wish there was a little different pricing structure for Komodo, esp. for individuals.
At one end, there is the free K. Edit. At the other end is the full-blown IDE for $250-$300, depending on whether a promotion might be going on.
I'd like to support the Komodo development process, but the upper end is too much for me. I wish there was a, I don't know, Komodo Edit "Plus" or "Pro" version, with a price break somewhere around $99.
(I use primarily PHP for web and database development.)
Just a thought. Love the product.

Thanks for the input Dave, whilst the pricing will not change for Komodo 5 - I'll pass along your suggestions for the next major Komodo version (Komodo 6).
Cheers,

Thanks. $99.00 - 119.00 would be a good range, IMHO. I have another IDE that I paid about $75.00 for (about 2 yrs. ago) but I much prefer using your free K-Edit.
I absolutely agree. I was just able to swing getting my parents to pay for the student licence, but there's no way I'd be able to afford paying for it myself. Even as a professional, I'd never even consider $250 for the stuff I actually would be willing to pay for in the IDE.
Perhaps you could offer a promotional discount that might pop up just once after someone uses KEdit free for a long time? when it's done in a tasteful way (i.e. not repetitive), that method has been remarkably successful in getting me to buy stuff in the past.
