Orca's stuff is on the lower-end of enterprise desktop, price-wise. Take a look at anything from Thomson, etc. Their stuff starts at $250k for 10 users.
The VaR alone would make you wet-yourself. Understand that my license is old and no longer supported. The brute-force stuff is so elegant and mind-blowing fast.
