That strongly suggests somebody do need it.

I'd like to know the set of people that:

* Go beyond Alpha's capabilities in home use

* See the need for full-on Mathematica

* Are dedicated enough to make full use of it

* Don't already have access to full-on Mathematica somehow (work/uni computer, etc)

* Can't buy a student license ($140)

* Really wants to spend $300 on it.

Hm, how will I ever figure all that out? :)

Would Wolfram Alpha be able to compute that for you?

That's quite cheap for a hobbyist's item (if they already have a computer). Compared with a yacht, or a golfing bat, for example... :)
