Has anyone on the NG done a licensing cost comparison to SqlServer in the recent past?

We are just bringing on an enterprise wide app and our user base is going way up, and converting our grandfathered concurrent users license to accomodate the added users for a new named user license will push our cost up 385%. Needless to say my boss is less than impressed and I have been instructed to look at alternatives, as the app in question will run on either DB.

I looked at the MS SQLserver site and can't find where their cost per CAL seat is. They give a price for their EE with 25 CALS, but thats all I can find at the moment.
