Or, for that matter, just compare CommonSpot to Spectra - they're radically different, I think. Spectra is essentially a bunch of code, which you can use to build your CMS applications. CommonSpot, on the other hand, essentially runs out-of-the-box, although you can certainly customize it. There's more of an up-front cost to CommonSpot than Spectra ($25k vs #15k, I think) but the total cost to deploy a CommonSpot solution is typically a fraction of that to deliver a similar Spectra solution. But yes, you're right - CMS products span a pretty wide range.
