Thats exactly as I see it to Silkstone
The fact that it is to become incorerated into Lightroom and no longer available as seperate product is very bad news for the people that have already developed a good working relationship and workflow with RSP.
As you say, Adobe is not known for reasonable prices on the majority of their software and since I regard this as a premium product, I can't see them supporting it well in the future at its current price point.
