ColdFusion 8 Standard or Enterprise?

When upgrading to ColdFusion 8 i'm unsure if I should move of Standard and go to Enterprise. It's a low volumne site we host, and allways will be as it's specifically for a set of customers for a period of time.

I'd say that our current ColdFusion 7 Standard serves us prety well, there are a about 20-30 instances of our application with probably no more than 10-20 concurrent users across all instances at any one point in time.

So is it worth it?

Dale,

If it was me, I would't bother.

My logical thinking on that is that it is a low volume site, and if you're happy with the speed of it then why change.

How is it you have mutiple instances on Standard Edition?
Aren't multiple instances an Enterprise feature?? Are you guys legal?

@anonymous - There is a difference between multiple instance of his application and Coldfusion. Just means that he is doing it in a Virtual Server (legal) or even on different ports, or different domains.

Yes all legal.

We have multiple instances of our application, not of ColdFusion.

In our case this is multiple virtual directories all pointing at the one spot, the application identifies and creates a named instance based on the browsed path.

Any idea on CF8 St. vs Ent. pricing??

I sometimes hear rumours on things, and they are sometimes right and sometimes not.

But I haven't heard anything on pricing for CF8.

It should be announced soon though.
