[foxboro] FSIM as a replacement for the AW70X

Does any end user have experience in using FSIM as a replacement for a AW70X? 
Given the pricing I have received for FSIM, although it may be a more 
functional replacement, it doesn't seem like a practical one. It seems like it 
would be cheaper to purchase a AW, switches and a CP270 and have the spares to 
boot. I could probably also buy a car to drive it around. Perhaps I didn't use 
the right verbiage when I requested the quote?
I had an opportunity to use FSIM a few years back. I liked it, but it is a lot 
more than what I currently need for simple off-line training and development 
(and priced accordingly).

It seems like the loss of the AW70x at v 8.x is a big one to the user 
community, another backwards step?

Let me know if someone has had a different experience.
