We have the same discussion at the moment...

At least point a.) is not true for Germany. Pv-Wave is 30-40% cheaper than IDL !
We have test-version of both programs and no severe bugs up to now.
For remote sensing IDL has the option for the ENVI package, a
rather clever point-and-click interface for RS-applications under IDL. But the
ENVI program is another 4500 US$ plus one IDL-licence.

Any more arguments pro or contra ?
