Those are all valid points, and in your scenario I am sure that's a good choice for you :)

You may have interpreted I was making the argument that in the long-term, being open is a smarter decision financially - but I didn't mean to imply that. As you point out, it's often quite the opposite.

My dislike for closed systems isn't because I was bitten in the ass financially by them; it's because I was bitten in the ass ideologically.

Open may sometimes cost more, but I am fortunately able and willing to pay it for the privilege of knowing that what is mine is mine, forever and always, with no terms attached.
