The pricing is ok.  The best part of it is the ability to make parts
that you can't find.  That's where the pricing becomes reasonable.  A
friend of mine is rebuilding at 1953 Pontiac Cheiftain and needed and
part that (surprise, surprise) "Pontiac" doesn't make anymore.  He had
ems mill it and voila.  I think it cost him about $150.

Incidentally, I am told they are working on compatibility and/or a
Linux version of the design software.
