I liked OnShape a lot, I think they got a lot of the UI right, but they priced themselves out of the market I'm in.

Agreed. I'm a little surprised at how OnShape doesn't want to price their product cheap enough that every new startup wants to use them with no questions asked. After you start using a certain CAD system, it is a huge P.I.T.A. to switch all your files over. Fusion360 takes advantage of this (no cost till you're above $100k in revenue), but the quality of their product just isn't quite there for me. And given the risks of using an entirely cloud-based system, if I were to make a startup & get funding tomorrow I'd still probably pick Solidworks.
I would not pick Solidworks anymore, unless I really required features that are only there. It used to be that you had to use Solidworks to keep your sanity while designing for injection molding, but these days it is no longer the case, unless your design is very complex.
