   Well, if you are at MIT you should be able to get the Mathematica
University Discount, which would allow you to buy it at $160.00.

   However, if Mathematica is REALLY not your thing, you might look into
KaleidaGraph (sp?), a new package which is intended for just the sort of
thing you're looking for.  I am not sure who publishes it.
