Weeeeell, if you want to look at it like that...

Oracle DB, basic edition: ~£8,000
Oracle DB, enterprise edition: ~£80,000

That's without any of the options (clustering, load balancing, advanced 
analytics, etc.)

Still, if you actually need the enterprise edition, £80k is peanuts to 
you...

(If, on the other hand, you have no idea what the difference is and you 
only bought EE because it sounds more "enterprisey", then you deserve 
everything that comes to you!)
