The secret world of software pricing.
My question is, why does Studio 5000, Factory Talk view SE and Factory Talk view 100 Display increase by 500 dollars each every time I purchase it from my local distributor?. I purchase probably 10-20 of these set (3 shown above) together each year and every time the price increases. The increase is usually in the hundreds. I usually purchase several per month and the price always increases. The local distributor never has an answer for any questions you ask about price increase. Also, why am I being charged for a 166 day service contract that's in the $$ thousands when I already have a tech connect?
Studio 5000: $4728.75
Factory Talk view 100 Display: $2877.50
Factory Talk view SE: $3953
