tmarman,

It is agreed that the jump from $0 to $125 (preview pricing) is a large jump and I can say we are definitely considering something in the middle ground. I am curious, what types of features would you be willing to give up for a lower price point? For example, one option might be for us to consider using smaller VM's, but that would greatly reduce the document count (perhaps 1M docs max), QPM's (perhaps max 1 QPS) and/or possibly limit the ability to support for high availability.

Do these sound like reasonable things to give up for this lower price point? Do you have alternate ideas?
