That one is fair enough.
I always take the position that the client should get as much functionality
as they possibly can.
You work out what the best, most spiffy and usefull possible solution is,
and then cut out features until you get back to their budget...
At least for coding web systems, it's not a case of getting as much as
possible, it's just that rarely can people afford the ultimate solution, so
you give them as much as you can justify for the money they have. It's a
budgetted amount for a reason. They feel that that amount of money is
justified.
