Real world, it's the structure we're setting up at the startup I'm currently working at. IMHO we've spent far less, and have far superior support and quality of product than we'd have had if we'd gone the route of taking on additional employees - that's less financial risk and less technical risk too. I kind of get the feeling that for a lot of people open source some has to be the solution to everything - it's not. Sometimes, being pragmatic means using commercial products or services. Sometimes it's worth letting somebody else do the expensive (both in terms of money and time) R&D and reaping the rewards by paying comparatively little for that work. If you're blinkered by open source it can lead you into all kinds of difficulties.
