Most people seem to think a DRMed ebook is worth less than a DRM-free one, but they are not ready to pay more for something that is worth more?

If you could find a certain ebook in a DRMed format for $5 and in a DRM-free format for $6, which one would you buy? Would it be different if the DRMed format had been there at $5 for some months before the DRM-free format appeared? And if it was the DRM-free format which had been available for $6 before? What if the DRMed format had been available for $6 and got its price reduced when the DRM-free format appeared?
Why would a publisher sell both a DRM'd and DRM free version though? If they're going to release a DRM free version, why not save themselves money by not having to license DRM at all and save the time and hassle it involves?
