Noise Reduction 2.0 ponderings

Does anyone know why Sonic Foundry charges like $200 for a plug in to remove noise based on a noise sample, while other software like Syntrillium's Cool Edit Pro include that ability in the main purchase. I own a copy of the cheaper Cool Edit 2000 and can't fully switch to Sonic Foundry stuff, because I need that ability to sample noise and then remove it. Cool Edit 2000 cost $70, SF Noise Reduction 2 cost $200 (too much)

First, I would not recommend you use plugs like noise reduction in Vegas or any DAW type app. NR is a mastering or pre-production tool.

Why we charge so much? I don't think $200 is that much for a NR tool as advanced as ours. I think if you compare what our NR tool does compared to the CoolEDIT included tool you will find we offer much more. Most NR tools fall into the $200+ price point.
