the thing is that if you think in a few (ie. a rather small number of)
years, the ccs compiler gets actually more expensive than the others, since
the $99 per year are mandatory, and with the others bugfixes are free (so far).

so if you can take out a small loan (from your bank or your pocket :), the
financial argument is not valid anymore.
