yes, that's price segmentation working as intended. companies (i.e., the price insensitive) can afford to spend an extra $1k, even if the markup is otherwise outrageous. it just doesn't matter relative to the long-run productivity gains it affords. that's also why mac pros are in the $10k range, with wheels that cost $500, because that's a drop in the bucket for editing shops relative to the productivity it affords.
