Half of the people I talk with only need the 'location' subset of Spatial - which is in intermedia, which is in Standard Edition. The other half need Spatial, which can only be licensed on top of Enterprise Edition (even with 9i database).

From what I've seen, alternatives to Spatial end up being expensive, so the combination of SDO and EE ends up being cheaper, especially when you start calculating in space, admin, ACLs, trying to correlate info between an RDBMS and a separate spatial system & managing several different types of DBs.
