This is not the most important question you will deal with...in the next 15 seconds, but.....
I own the Leader's base package. On my upgrade page, the retail price of the Silver package is, rounded off, 60% higher than the retail price of the Scholar's package. My upgrade price for the for the Silver package is, again rounded off, 120% higher than the upgrade price of the Scholar's. The disparity in the ratios between retail and upgrade price differentials drops dramatically in transitions between higher-level packages (from Gold to Platinum, for instance, retail/upgrade prices are different by 20% and 30%, respectively; moving from Platinum to Portfolio, however, produces another significant difference - 155% v. 190%). But in a move from Scholar's to any of the higher packages, upgrade price percentage increases are twice those in retail value.
Is this common? reasonable? to be expected?
Thanks,
Bill
