according to the website you linked to it costs:

$999 basic
$999 4th axis add on
$3999 for pro (includes basic, 4th axis and advanced 3-axis)

there is a page containing the features and also a down-loadable demo.

I think it sounds too expensive, its all a conspiracy to make CAM hard
for the hobbyist. Keep the common man from making things he could buy ;)
