You can get an MSDN Universal for less than that and get all the UML stuff and a whole lot more.

Getting anything but the Architect version ($2,500) wouldn't make much sense, because it has UML built in and tightly integrated. I thought, well, one time investment might be ok, if it really is that good. Then I checked the upgrade price from previous Delphi or any other Borland product ($1,500), and decided to definitely NOT go that route. I assume that when the next .NET version comes out next year, I would have to pony up another thousand + bucks to keep up with the associated C#Builder update.

Their products are good, but IMHO not good enough to justify the high cost of purchase AND updates. Regular consultants just can't keep up with that kind of cost, with all the other tools we need to maintain with new .NET and OS versions.
