WOW, that's a big price jump. V3.6 was listed at $999. That's a 60% increase in price and I know you could get V3.6 for less.
Your other option is getting hosted BES/MDS and then you don't need to spend all the money on the software/hardware or IT staff to keep it up and running....

BTW - I was looking on the RIM site. The 100 CAL pack for BES used to be $4,999 it is NOW $5,999 I suppose as a result of the 4.0 BES/MDS software upgrade. So your observation of price increase is correct.
