Some people will need the features they offer and the add-ons and for them it will be worth it, especially if you have a very complex site. For the rest of people just throwing up a MGP style video site, or a niche tube site that doesn't get hundreds of thousands of hits a day,one is better off using one of the free scripts with a little ingenuity on the design and see if you can find a formula that works to make sales before you spend a lot of money on licenses in my opinion.

Wordpress is the worst example ever, as it was developed as a BLOGGING platform for NON-ADULT sites... Adult sites just started using it..
Wordpress was developed to give users something to use on their own host instead of free blogging sites out there.. They get backlinks like WHOA out of it, because of its popularity, that pays off for them, but no programmer building a script for the adult industry is gonna do that because not many leave the backlinks in tact as they just remove as much as possible, so the only possible way to gain anything out of pouring your heart and soul into a project is to charge what its worth to you...
Sure you can get TEVS for $250+ or you can buy JimBob's version for $20... You pay for what you get, and TEVS is quality, that's why its so expensive...
