Seems to be pretty cheap judging from the fact that each PSpice license cost
much more than Eagle Professional. But I am not so sure about the cost of the
Protel (now Altium) layout package or Orcad Layout packages.

Is Eagle Professional in the same league as the PCB layout part of
Orcad or Protel (now Altium Designer)?
