I'm one of those with the € 9,99 flat rate.
Why?
I can't do without Outlook. It's not a matter of choice. My needs, such as signatures with corporate logos, can't be solved with iMail and the likes.
I bought the flat rate briefly after getting my Surface Pro Gen 1.
Since I frequently switch units, I didn't want to invest € 250 at once.
With the flat rate I pay about the purchase price over 2 years - should I use it that long...
I don't have any problems with the price.
Compared to the purchase price of € 250, a monthly fee of € 9,99 is absolutely okay.
Is the purchase price of € 250 acceptable? It's certainly steep, if you only use it for your occasional private letter. But for professional or semi-professional needs, I guess it's acceptable.
I haven't tested the iPad version intensively enough yet. But since my flat rate works fine (I didn't even have to enter my account data, since I already had OneDrive activated), it's a free bonus anyway.
And like others said before: 5 installations!
I've got it on my MacBook Air, my Surface Pro 2, both my Dell Windows 8 tablets and now on iPad in addition.
Nothing to complain about!

BTW: I like, how they solved the activations. You see them in your account and can manage yourself.
I hate ADE in comparison. I always ran out of activations and had to contact the Adobe support, to receive new ones...
