I agree 100% on your 2nd point. It's tough to price out a domainer but not price out the small business or startup who probably has smaller pockets. By the time the small business has the money to buy the domain, they have already built a following & links on a lesser quality name. Cheap pricing like Godaddy's $.99/year .info just pollutes the web with spammy sites - think of it as tons of little Mahalos. Tiered pricing hasn't worked out that well for other extensions. Originally .tv had a tiered pricing where you paid a premium yearly rate, however, they abandoned that practice this Spring.
