I'm 11 pages into this and still don't even have a general idea how much any of this actually costs. I'm wondering why I would need the secret-decoder ring to access even retail pricing.

If LW has a new pricing model, then great, lets see it. I'm open to new ideas. Ducking the simple questions asked here makes my spidey-sense all tingly.

Basic operation & functionality is also pretty vague. I hate vague.
