Cheap RoboHelp vs. Expensive RoboHelp (cross-posted)

[Steven Oppenheimer <Steven -at- OppenheimerCommunications -dot- com>]

Am dashing this off in a hurry, since I'm leaving town, so forgive the 
brevity and vagueness of the question.  Basically, it's been a couple of 
years since I've created any online help, and so I haven't used RoboHelp in 
the interim.  I am contracted to create a basic help system for a 
server-based application, a kind of network monitoring system.  Just your 
basic, vanilla, context-sensitive help system.

I see there are two version of RoboHelp, the $999 and the $1999 
version.  Is there any good, special reason to get the more expensive 
version?  Anything that I'll probaby want to do, and, if I buy the less 
expensive version, I'll find myself saying, "Darn, need to upgrade to 
really get the job done!"?

Also -- I used to use ForeHelp, which I loved, but RoboHelp beat them 
out.  Have any serious competitors to RoboHelp emerged, that I should be 
looking at?

Thanks in advance for all replies.
