That's exactly what they do. ADTS and RDi are both $795 a seat.

If they cost the same per seat, why can't I make an equal trade for one
seat from another (either direction)? Why do I still have to pay the extra
40% to go to RDi from and ADTS seat?

If I don't want EGL or Java parts of WDSC,
All I'm getting is ADTS equivalent, (actually not even equivalent,

since

RLU, isn't replaced yet and the screen designer seems to still be

beta).

But Now I have to pay more?

Again, that's what they do. RDi-SOA contains EGL, costs $1200 more a

Sorry I was still talking about just RDi. I should have been clearer on
that, I get that if I want more functionality(EGL, Java, etc)than the
original ADTS I have to pay more for it. I thought RDI was more than ADTS
per seat, when I wrote that.

Thanks for the clarification, I always hear about entitlements to ADTS,
hardly do you hear about the costs for more seats of ADTS.
