Personally, I think it's high time that MPW went through a price cut.
You can pick up THINK C for <$100.  The MPW C bundle costs $400,
MacApp costs $100, plus any additional costs for C++.  I understand
that Apple has to be careful not to step on developer's toes, but it
is my belief that THINK C would still have a large market share even
if MPW cost the *same*.  Because of this belief, I don't think it
would be unreasonalbe to price a C package at around $250 including
MacApp.  I would like to have *both* devlopment environments around...
Maybe have APDA products available through the Apple University
Consortium deal, for about 50% off.  That would do the trick for me.
