Fellow 3ders: I'm curious to the opinions of those who use "Studio" and what you feel about IPAS pricing and packaging. I'm sure we all would like to save money and would buy more if "everything" were "cheaper." This seems to be part of our nature that we want more for less. I however, am a firm believer in the "Good Book" that says "a laborer is worthy of his wages" …paraphrased: Your deserved to be paid FAIRLY for what you do. My personal suggestion is I really would buy more, more frequently, NOT if IPAS's were cheaper, only packaged differently. This is primarily a suggestion to the YOST Group who have developed incredible routines but are packaged in a way that are not as easily purchased! Don't get me wrong, it's not the price that I suggest you change, (I feel they are worth the money) only offer them "individually" at a slightly higher rate, and, as you do now also as a "package" at a savings of the current rate. I have purchased "group 4" thus far and am saving toward another. Group 4 has 6 .axp's which retail would be about $50 apiece. I would pay say 50% higher to buy ONE ($75) and would do it more often. I feel that many "Studio" users have the same problem as me in that you start saving up toward your next IPAS, get to about a hundred bucks and then need to use the money for something else. Start again and get to maybe two hundred and need to use the "green" for yet another bill. The point is I honestly feel I would buy a single IPAS every other month AT LEAST. You make more money in the long run "singles" and the power users get the discount by buying the whole package. Bottom line….overall more sales! Besides, although I may not be interested in the entire package, you get me "hooked" using the singles where now I want them ALL. I realize that there are many hidden costs in developing these that a certain dollar count is necessary, my opinion is that the TOTAL sales would far outweigh the additional costs of making them available seperately. What is your opinion? Jerry
