"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"The license is a bit expensive."

So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
