Shade Pro is a successful product in Japan, so even if it tanks here, I doubt they'll lose much.

I remember people worrying that Poser was going to cost $1,000 like Shade when the news of the CL buyout broke. CL did ask us about prices in their surveys...and I bet everyone picked a low number. :-) So perhaps Pro is actually the main product, while LE and Standard were spun off for us cheapskates...
