Sorry to be a pedant (but I can't help it) - the £250 is their individual rate - they have a separate deal for institutions. It may be that the individuals in question tend to be academics whose institution won't buy the multi-user service, of course. At that price, you'd have to be pretty keen (you could get the CD at that price, so would need to want the very latest updates).
