That sounds sensible. However, I'm using as low cost development and test environment EE, because for test and development you can use it for free.
Of course, when application is moved to production than some bucks must be spend.
I thought that the main purpose of PE was serving as a data storage for smaller application, which are distributed to clients (accounting, PC banking SW). Nowadays companies are usually using MS SQL2000 runtime for this job, because of Microsoft's agressive pricing policy.
