I think core based licensing is reasonable for scaling.

  Depends what you're doing and what your needs are. If we have one big database sitting in a data center and it would be beneficial to setup a read replica for other workloads, suddenly that's a $150,000 suggestion instead of a "We have this server over here". Want a couple? $300,000. Big client that you'd like to isolate on their own hardware? $$$$

    What sort of machine are you running to get 150000 USD? It's approximately 3-4 k per core using standard.

      Enterprise on 16 core machine. $14k / core so it's actually closer to $220,000.
