Price drop has nothing to do with the licensing.  they are two completely
separate things.  Your not comparing apples to apples.  Compare the same
price for both levels of licenses.  600 concurrent users vs 3000 at the same
price.  No I wouldn't be happy with that.

Yes your saving money but your not saving money because of the way they are
doing licensing.  You are saving money because they lowered prices.

 Why not?

The old way let's say a company had 600 concurrent users but had a total
of 3,000 people.  They had to pay 75,000 for those 600.
Today they would have to license 3,000 and the cost is 60,000 with the
price drop so how is that not exciting?

I don't consider the change from concurrent to per device/user very
exciting though.....
