Anyone that thinks they can have an enterprise affiliate package built as complete as MPA2 for less than $50,000 is naive. Anyone that thinks they'll spend less than $5000 a year in programming to maintain such software isn't doing very much innovation on what they have.
Anyone who is truly concerned about there being a shave option in MPA2... well, if an affiliate program wants to steal they'll steal. That's why you should pick your business partners by their reputation for integrity and not the pictures of BLING on the front page of their affiliate program.
Besides, I've seen that most of the programs have similar features for shaving.
Lastly, credit needs to be given to the fact that MPA2 is tried and tested, as any affiliate management software should be. The value of having more than a year under it's belt is huge.
