Yeah, I agree 50e max.

Real hardware is priceless: a couple of months ago I was given a DS10 and a DS20E for free.
The only disadvantages I feel are floorspace and power usage.
Difficult to price an emulator, but 50 is about as much as I'd pay.

Wouldn't be worth more than about $50 (CAD) to me. Anything more than the used price for the real hardware ($200) is out to lunch.

Yup, I was thinking about 50-100 GBP myself - their software is protected with a dongle (urgh) so I think there might be some underlying costs there.
